| Introduction | How I got into Triathlon: *Nov ’08 – tore the MCL in my right knee playing indoor soccer *Gained 30 pounds! *Spring ’09 – tried to begin running so I could play soccer and reaggravated the injury along with getting shin splints and plantar fasciitis *Summer ’09 – began swimming with my wife, Beth, as she began training for her first Sprint distance Triathlon *Early Fall ’09 – began riding the bike while Beth was still training for her Triathlon *Oct ’09 – Beth completed her 1st Triathon! I loved the atmosphere! *Nov’09 – reunited with David, fraternity brother, and found he’d been doing Triathlon for years. After a year from my injury I began to slowly run very short distances. *Dec ’09 – at a Christmas Party I cornered and peppered Jeff, a guy I barely knew training for his first Ironman Triathlon, with questions about his training and anything/everything to do with Triathlon. *Jan ’10 – able to run 3 miles without stopping (14 min/mi pace) *Feb ’10 – Texas Motor Speedway Duathlon (run 2 miles – bike 14 miles – run 2 miles) *Mar ’10 – St. Patrick’s Day Sprint Triathlon. *Thanks to Beth, David and Jeff I was inspired to Tri and I’ve been TRIing ever since. |
