My bucket of bolts
Its been awhile since Ive last posted a lot of things have happen for me a lot of ups & downs. I have completed 2 of my goals, I did my first 10K run in Feb. with my wife & finished in 1hr 31min. It was a fun race I was able to jog about half of it & walked the rest. The only thing is I have problems with shin splints & was hurting for about 3 weeks after.
Last Sunday I competed in a Duathlon with my wife it was a 2 mile run 16 mile bike & a 2 mile run. I finished in 2hr 18min I have to say I think im hooked the feeling I had crossing the finish line was like no other I have had during a 5K or 10K. It was a damm I can really do this! The first 2ml run was good I keep a 12min mile pace witch is a pr for me i felt good. Before sunday my longest ride on a bike was 6 miles on flat ground this was 16 miles with a few hills. Getting off the bike in the transition area wasent fun I had charlie horses in both calfs & still had 2ml to run, I walked the first mile till my legs got better after that I jogged/walked with about a half mile to go my friend Chris came back after he finished to run me in Chris is one of the people who has inspired me to go for these goals he has lost over 200 lb's doing triathlons. It was a great day for me I will definitly do more I guess next will be a triathlon for me as soon as I learn to swim good.
My last goal was to finish a 5k in under 40min, Today I did it 39min 45sec this was a goal that I thought would take me a while to complete I was shocked. I felt on top of the world.
Tommorow I will be bringing my wife to Lake Charles La. to watch her do a sprint triathlon, It will be interesting the temp will be in the low 40s & she will have to swim wearing a wet suit.
My wife will be competing in the New Orleans Half Iron Man on April 5 I cant wait to see her finish this will be her biggest race to date. She rocks
