Ten triathlons in 2010, working up to Half Iron!
For the last few years, I've completed the corresponding number of triathlons to match the year. In 2008, I did eight. Last year, I did nine.
I've yet to advance beyond the sprint distance, though I completed last year's St. Anthony's Triathlon, where the swim was canceled due to weather for the first time.
This year, I'm working my way up to the Half Iron distance. If I reach ten triathlons along the way, all the better, but the goal is to reach the Half Iron distance by the end of the season.
If you’d like to join me on this quest, please drop me a line. It can be something as simple as inviting me to a swim, workout, ride, or run. Words of encouragement are always appreciated. And if you want to join the challenge, all are welcome. Be sure to check out my schedule below. Hope to see you out there!
