Its funny the reaction I get from people when they find out I do triathlons. Its even funnier to see their reaction when they find out I do long distance triathlons. It can range from "you're crazy....to you're stupid.....to that's awesome". But whatever the case its still entertaining to see how they react.
Last year I was very busy racing, doing pretty much a different race each month. Now for the most part these races were relatively short in distance. My two majors races of last year were at the beginning and the end of the season with the middle filled with intermediate and short distance races. Well this year the ante is getting upped a little bit, thanks to an agreement I have with my buddy Jarod!
I have the Half Ironman in Galveston on April 1st. To add to that I just officially registered for the Half Ironman in Kansas on June 10th. Two 70.3 miles races nine weeks apart. I am also officially registered for an Olympic distance triathlon in between those two during the last weekend in April. Crazy I know.
But you know, sometimes you have to be a little bit crazy. You have to push yourself to the limits. You even have to push yourself past them. You only live once so why not make the most of it? Like I always say, "I would rather look back and say I wish I hadn't done something, instead of saying I wish I had".
