Another catch-up post...
I went to the LifeTime Fitness Triathlon a few weekends ago so I could see what all the tri craziness was all about.
Man Alive.
It was amazing.
First we watched the pros (yup, that means I was out the door at 6am. Please let the record state that I am not a morning person) and that was really cool. Everyone was so fast, so smooth, so polished. It is what every athlete aspires to be. The pros? They are machines.
And then we watched the "regular folk". And honestly, that was the one that got me good. People from all age groups (we saw an 89-year-old woman crossing the finish line. Incredible!). People with different abilities. People with disabilities. There were so many people out there, giving their all. Trying their hardest. They weren't out there for the cash prize; they were out there for themselves.
That's what sealed the deal for me. I want, nay, NEED to try a triathlon. If these people can do it? So can I.
