This past weekend I competed in my 3rd triathlon. I went back to Hilton Head for this year’s annual triathlon they hold. It is just about the 1 year anniversary from the first one I did there last year (the same one I panicked during). I went down there this year bound and determined to do better. I knew my time from last year wasn’t the best I could do because I freaked out during the swim. I had a goal to shave 5-10 minutes off my time. It seemed a little ambitious but I thought I could do it. [Read more…] about No Training, No Results

Kicking Fear in the Face
Saturday I competed in my second triathlon. It was still a sprint distance, but slightly longer than my first (this one was a 750 yard swim, 17.5 mile bike, 3.1 mile run).

Panic at the Triathlon
This past weekend I competed in my first triathlon in Hilton Head, South Carolina. Never did I think I would say that. It was a sprint length triathlon, which equated to a 500m swim, a 12.5 mile bike and a 3.1 mile run. I’ve spent the past few months training for it, and this past Saturday was the big day. I had never done anything like this. The longest race I had previously competed in was a five-mile run. [Read more…] about Panic at the Triathlon
