I'm a blogger!!!

So, here it goes...my first blog.



I am dedicating this blog to my life in the great world of triathlons! As a newbie, I am super excited and can't wait for my first tri (sprint). April 20th cannot come any faster.



I have been training for 7 weeks now, and feel confident, but hopefully not too confident. :) I have a wonderful swim coach who has molded me into a great swimmer. I did a timed 100 meters on Monday and was swimming them in 1:40...which for only swimming for 7 weeks is awesome, well at least in my eyes! I could not even swim that fast with fins on 3 weeks prior.



I belong to a tri club in Oklahoma City, TriOKC. What an amazing group of athletes. Found out last night that one of our events is going to become a national qualifier in 2009. (RedMan)
I haven't even completed my first tri and I am already hooked in the little world. I have scheduled quite a few events this year:

Redbud Classic-Oklahoma City, OK- April 5, 2008 (33mi. ride)

Tornado Alley Duathlon-Edmond, OK- May 17, 2008 (2mi./10mi./2mi./10mi./2mi.)


Spring Fever Tri-Claremore, OK- April 20, 2008 (400m/12mi./2mi.) Thought this would be a good starter for the first of the year.

Danskin Women's Tri-Austin, TX- June 8, 2008 (750m OW/12mi./3k)
