I did it. I finally took the first step to becoming a triathlete: registering for the 2012 Nautica Malibu Triathlon.
I'm also learning how to swim, but that's another story for another day.
Am I scared? Not really. I'm definitely excited about the challenge, and even though I am not a swimmer yet, I'll get there. Today is day two of my swim lessons, so I'm hoping I'll get better sooner than later.
Some background: The Nautica Malibu Triathlon features two events - the Olympic distance and the Classic distance. My friends and I registered for the Classic, which is a 0.5 mi swim, 18 mi bike ride and 4 mi run. Completely do-able. There is usually a strong celebrity presence at this event, so maybe I'll bump into some cool people in the ocean :)
At some point, I'll move on to the Half Ironman, but for now, this is the perfect first step into the world of triathlons!
