This is my journey of training for a Half Ironman in Kansas on the 8th of June. A half ironman consists of a 1.2 mile swim, 56 mile bike, and lastly 13.1 mile run totally 70.3 miles. I decided to do this when I took up triathlons a couple of years ago following an injury from running. So 3 February is the 18 weeks (125 days) out for the the start of this event. I have decided to blog about it to hold myself accountable and also so that I can track my progress. Technically today is supposed to be day 2, however day one training did not turn out so well. I was on the road traveling from Nebraska to Illinois, not exactly conducive to swimming, biking or running. Today things are different I am home and ready and start what I have decided to accomplish. It will not be easy and I know that my dedication is going to have to be at 100% all the time. My life is going to revolve around diet and exercise. Currently my husband is deployed and we have a 7 year old daughter, and I myself work a full time job. Challenging? YES! However, CHALLENGE ACCEPTED! I will post about my workouts, my diet, my current weight, and lastly the struggles along with way, and I'm anticipating a lot of struggles! So here it is in all of its glory.
