For those of you wondering if I feel ready or if I think I will finish, the answer is no, not at all. But, I am determined to push myself everyday of training to achieve my goal.<\/p>\n<p>When I decided to pursue the goal of completing a triathlon this year, I had no idea what I was in store for. One of the things I did not expect was the varying distances in each category. Let me explain:<\/p>\n<p>The Sprint is 0.5 miles Swim, 12.4 miles Bike, and 3.1 mile run<br \/>\nThe Olympic is 0.93 mile Swim, 24.8 mile Bike, and 6.2 mile run<br \/>\nThe Ironman 70 is 1.2 mile Swim, 56 mile Bike, and 13.1 mile run<br \/>\nThe Ironman is 2.4 mile Swim, 112 mile Bike, 26.2 mile run<\/p>\n<p>During the fall of 2016, I started to feel as though the Sprint category was not challenging enough for me. I decided to work towards the Olympic category instead. It was exhilarating to know that I would be participating in the same race they do in the Olympics! The training is hard as I have to exercise one of the disciplines each day.\u00a0 I usually swim twice a week, bike twice a week, and run two or three times a week. I try to take a rest day for my body to recuperate. My training sessions usually take me between 20 minutes and two hours, depending on the distance and sport.<\/p>\n<p>Today, I completed 0.93 miles of swimming for the first time! I am incredibly happy as this was the only sport I hadn&#8217;t reached the minimum distance requirement. I was already able to meet the distances for Biking and Running. My next challenge is being able to do all three sports right after each other. We&#8217;ll see how that turns out on Race Day \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I would love it if you followed my race on Facebook!
