My very first triathlon in 2008. The Charlotte SheRox.
I've teased in a couple of posts about what's on the horizon for the rest of the season and so here's the big reveal! The first one:
In two weeks I'm doing my FIFTIETH triathlon!
Whaaat?!
The Sandling Beach 50 in Raleigh is a mile swim + 40-mile bike + 9-mile run and it will mark my 50th triathlon since 2008! [HERE'S the story of my first one.] The idea started earlier in the year, but I don't quite know what sparked it. I was hoping that IM Santa Rosa was going to be THE ONE. I counted up all my tris - including relays - and thought I could make it. But, I skipped two races this spring and one got cancelled and so I had to readjust.
What it means is that I'm cramming FOUR races between August 19 and October 1: Riverlights Sprint, White Lake International, White Lake Sprint (the next day), the WB YMCA Sprint and finally the Sandling Beach race.
The White Lake Sprint in 2009. Thinking peaceful thoughts before my second tri.
I can't believe this will be number 50! I've come a long way and I can't wait to do 50 more!
Fifty shades of cray.
