So much has happened since my last post. Where shall I begin? Maybe a bullet point list will help everyone follow along!
- June/July 2012 - Simon and I traveled to South Africa and we got engaged on top of Table Mountain in Cape Town!
- August 2012 - I raced Timberman and finally broke 6 hours!
- March 2013 - We moved out of NYC, and bought a house in the Jersey burbs!
- July 2013 - We got hitched!!
- July/August 2013 - We honeymooned in Moorea and Bora Bora
What a year+ it's been! There have been other races in 2013, including one solid age group win at the MightyMan Montauk Olympic Tri in September. That officially qualifies me for Age Groups Nationals! Awesome! The other results are on the sidebar, in case anyone cares. :)
The other MAJOR development is my new 2014 Challenge... a 140.6 mile Challenge to be exact... CHALLENGE ATLANTIC CITY!
I'm excited and more than a little nervous to train for another beast of a triathlon, but I just couldn't resist signing up. My parents live about 30 minutes away from AC, so I'll have a solid training base to go to.
One of the major concerns I have, besides the training time suck, is not knowing anyone who is doing the race. When I did Lake Placid, there was a solid community of folks in NYC that I could tag along for long bike rides. But now, I'm out in the burbs where biking is downright dangerous in my town! Who knew cycling in NYC would be easier?! So I need to make it a point to reach out and find other crazy folk like myself that are willing to ride for a loooooong time. Shouldn't be hard, right?!
I hope to update this blog on a weekly basis, as I really like to look back and see how far I've come in training, both physically and mentally. I also hope these words inspire others to work out or try new things that scare them. 'Cause believe me, this 140.6 mile business is no joke and scares the pants off me!!
Have a great day!
