It is official! I have signed up for the Beach 2 Battleship Half Iron distance triathlon as an individual! I am excited, nervous, and partly insane. The race is on October 20 of this year, so it is time to get to work. The race distance is a 1.2 mile open water swim, 56 mile bike, and a 13.1 mile run. The cutoff time is 9 hours to complete the race. My goal is 6 hours.
In order to hit my goal and survive, I will need to step up my training. Linds and I had a great weekend and did a 10k (6.2 mile run). I had a PR of 55:30 which was a great motivator. So beginning today, I will need to try and get in 3 swims, bikes, and runs each week in order to build my base endurance up. I will try to update my progress every week or two as the race day draws near.
