Ever since I saw Simon Whitfield win the gold medal during the 2000 games in Sydney I've been intrigued by triathlons. It was always one of the events I caught during the Olympics and whenever it happened to be on TV. Truth be told, it probably would have stayed as an "every four year interest" if I hadn't blown out not one, but both knees. I know it may seem odd that two acute knee injuries, two re-injuries and two surgeries would kick start my triathlon racing, but it did.
This blog will ultimately track my thoughts and experiences during training and racing. However, before this season starts, I want to recap how I got into racing and my results from last year. The first race race of the 2011 season (Early Bird) is in exactly one month. So I hope to get the stories of "where it all began", "first season training", my first four races (probably four posts), "first off season" and "second season training". That seems like a pretty ambitions goal, but I think it should be attainable. My posts shouldn't be long, but I hope they'll be entertaining. I also hope to pretty up the design a bit in the coming weeks.
Stay tuned...
