The Last Day of the Last Days!

So I signed up to do the South Maui Triathlon with Team In Training. Wow what was I thinking? I committed to getting my butt up twice a day to workout, giving up BACON, no more junk food, and no more soda. Boooooo! Such a boring diet. I have committed to eating blue, green, yellow, and red foods and also eating whole foods for most of my diet (90%). And blogging... Oh will you get tired of me!

I am going to the Gym on Sunday to bring in the new year. Will you join me?

Oh what a year... and what a year to come!

WHAT'S UP MY PHAT ATHLETES?

I am back.  After a long time off, really getting these knees back together after the spill last year in Arizona, I am ready to get back in gear and move from a Sprint Triathlon to a Olympic!  Yes... I said it... I just signed up for the South Maui Triathlon with TEAM IN TRAINING!  OMG!  I am so nervous.  Because I am not the "normal" size athlete, I have a lot of work to get my body in the shape and to the level of endurance I need it to be to complete the South Maui Tri!  But at the same time, I am EXCITED about trying... NO DOING... the Tri! 

So, most of you probably know, it is time to gear up (yes new gear)!  I need a new bike to take me to the levels I want to go.  I also just need new gear.  I lost a few pounds so need new shorts, pants, swim wear, and a new helmet!  Wooo... training can be expensive!  But as I find new and exciting things on sale (got new cycle shoes at pearl izumi for $32 on Black Friday) I will share with the group.  As well as sharing my nutrition, weight loss, progress, times, and love and frustration with training.  I am back ya'll... I am back!

I will begin my pre-training training on Monday, December 5 and will continue through to June 7, 2012!  The Tri is on June 10 and I hope you can join my in person or in spirit!

So in the meantime, Let's get it started! 

P.S.  I didn't post my mud run photos... Here is one for you to giggle with me at!

Have a GREAT weekend!
