I’ve taken three days off of training because of this chest cough I’ve got. Today is day 3 and lets just say, I’m getting a little restless. The weather has been absolutely stunning and it is killing me being stuck indoors, so I figured I better put this downtime to good use…

Since I decided my major goal this year would be to complete a middle distance triathlon (2km swim, 90km bike and a 21km run), I have had my eye on a specific race that interests me. I’ve never done triathlon before so it’s taken me a while to muster up enough courage to even think about actually signing up for a middle distance race. I guess this whole restless thing was my tipping point!

Any second thoughts? YUP – many!

But… here we go…I’ve signed up for it!! OMG, WHAT HAVE I DONE?!

I am officially registered for the 70.3 Ironman in Zell am See-Kaprun, Austria!! I’ll be racing one day before Dan races the same course for 70.3 World Championships.

I am excited and extremely scared all at the same time. Oh boy…

Either way, I am looking forward to sharing my journey as a newbie Triathlete and as a ‘pro’ when it comes to supporting Dan’s journey to World Champs!

174 DAYS UNTIL RACE DAY!
