I'm Tri'ing

I recently joined a Facebook Triathlon group and have found it to be a very inspiring.  When I first joined I was hesitant because I was worried that everyone would be elite level triathletes that I would have nothing in common, but I was very wrong.  This is a group of everyday people dealing with the same ups and downs that I deal with.  The majority of my circle of friends and family are not involved in triathlons and I'm sure I bore them to death talking about training, gear, racing, nutrition, etc., but this group talks about all those things and provides an amazing amount of support to one another. I still haven't gotten outside on my new bike because of the darn weather but this coming weekend there is zero chance of rain so hopefully I'll be able to hit the road and get some time under my belt in aero.  But I was able to finish up the installation of my hydration setup this weekend.  The last piece of the puzzle is still to figure out a name!

Slacker is the best way to describe myself these days, one week of working out before tri training starts.  I have NO motivation.  I work out a few times a week but not at the levels I should be at.  I think not having races planned in June/July are really making me feel lazy and not get back into the groove of training.  I have some life changing things going on, that of course are impacting my mental health but I know that getting back on track with training will also help me deal with these life challenges. Life is passing me by and I'm not getting any younger so I need a big kick in the pants! Decided to give myself that kick in the pants - I have registered for Tri for Old Glory - Olympic distance   http://test.redemptionrp.com/?page_id=176.  Done, now I have a closer goal than my HIM's at the end of the year.
