Triathlon? Duathlon? Or Just Cycling?
I met a very nice woman, Deanna, at Joel’s shop yesterday. She was training for a marathon. I think I would keel over and croak if I ran a marathon. I’ll leave that to Deanna. RL was there at the same time, so I was joking around with her that I would do the ocean swim portion, she could do the running portion, and RL can do the biking portion. Perfect, right? Yea, right. I will see how that pans out. I’ll probably be left to do the entire thing.
I’ve been thinking about triathlons for the last few weeks. Should I try to do one? Will I make it? Will my knees be able to take the running portion? Maybe I should just stick to cycling? Riding centuries? Maybe start out doing triathlon relays? But then again, I don’t have that many friends to do this with me.. :-\ I don’t want my shoulders to turn into a man’s shoulder again like they did when I was swimming a lot either. Sigh… But I still want to try to do a triathlon. Maybe I will shoot for the Malibu Tri or the LA Tri this year or next year - depending on when the event is.
My past few weekends have been focused on paragliding, so I haven’t been able to bike as much as I’d like to. I miss it… A lot. :-\ I miss the cardio workout and riding with my usual bike group. I will get back into it this month. Maybe this will give me more motivation to start training for a triathlon. Or maybe I’ll start with a duathlon first. Or maybe I’ll just keep cycling as much as I can and as fast as I can, and skip the triathlons and the duathlons.
We’ll see….
