Feelin' good

Today I picked up a pen, viewed my goals for 2014, and checked off "Triathlon".  Don't get excited, it wasn't an Ironman or a Forest Gump trek, but I finished... check (bicep flex).  The morning was cold, and I awkwardly found myself wearing triathlon tights and a swim cap- waiting to jump into a frigid undisturbed lake- with hundreds of strangers (why am I here again?).  The swim went well.  I was very relaxed, took my time, and made an extra effort to hug the outside, avoiding the chaos.  According to my pre-race intel, biking was the easiest leg... I respectfully reject that theory.

Although, I was riding my friend's Schwinn bike.  Yeah, that's it... that's the sole reason younger AND older men AND women were passing me... 100% the reason.  The run was next.  By this point, I was in a zone- just cruising.  I had plenty of gas left in the tank, physically and mentally.  Step, inhale, step, exhale, finish line... done, I'm starving.  My reward was a Buzz brew's feast with my wife.... followed by a four hour nap.  I'm hooked... Half Ironman?... challenge accepted.
