For the past 2 seasons/years. I have really trained during the "peak" season but have not done much to improve my fitness level during the winter months. I am finally ready to take the plunge.
After watching many youtube videos about people doing IM's and watching with my own eyes how people from all walks of life are able to compete in these races and complete them. I think I am starting to wonder if this is something that I should aspire to in my future.... let's be honest and say that not in the NEAR future... For goodness sake, i have only done 3 tri's and the longest I have gone is olympic distance, so I think it is safe to say that I am not mentally ready for one of those YET... who knows maybe in a year or two I will be. I am seriously considering it though.
So that's when I decided I needed a coach. If I am even remotely considering doing an IM I will need some guidance. The one coach I am looking into is one tough cookie! I will let you know more about her after we have everything finalized. I am in the process of checking with some of her athletes, to see if her coaching style would match my personality and my hectic schedule. I am hopeful.
So I think that after all this season could see me racing a couple of races, not sure how many or how long. I want to be the best triathlete I can be. It will be hard work, it will hurt and I will have to push past many mental barriers I have set on myself. I am ready to get back in the pool and be a better swimmer (and maybe I will even start to like swimming), I am ready to make my legs stronger (even thought they won't get smaller, at least they will be tougher). I am ready to get really serious about this sport.
The countdown to a better me has started... Bring it on!
