I have been training for my first olympic length triathlon over the past 5 months. That is 2 workouts a day, 6 days a week for 5 months. its been pretty tough. anyway, D-day has almost arrived. Sunday I will be storming the beaches of St. Petersburg (florida, not russia) and jumping in to the bay. swimming a mile, then biking 26.2 miles, and then running 6.2 miles. whats more important is that after this is all over i can return to my regular schedule of kung fu and jiu jitsu. i havent been to either in a little more than 2 months bc the tri training has been so tough. i have a sprint tri in philly in june but i won't have to compromise my MA training for that.
anyway, wish me luck and if i am not too embarrassed of my times i will post them when i get back on Wednesday.
I also wanted to thank all of the people that donated money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society so that this triathlon was possible. Together my wife and I raised about $9,000 dollars which will go towards cancer research and treatments. Your support was and is tremendously appreciated. Thanks.
