Hi Everyone,
Things are turning green just in time to celebrate St. Patrick’s day here in North Texas. For local athletes, we have many celebrations including races from 5k’s to sprint distance triathlons and beyond. One very special event is the St. Patrick’s sprint distance race to be held this Sunday in Keller Texas.
The event is coordinated by Dallas Athletes who offer multiple distance events throughout the season. This group of dedicated folks are simply outstanding in their work thus most events sell out very early. The sprint distance scheduled for this Sunday will support 650 participants of all levels with many on a waitlist in hopes of gaining a chance to partake in the fun.
The race will consist of a 300 yard swim, a 12 mile bike and a 5k run. My coach, Dr. Crane and many fellow triathlete friends will be there bright and early Sunday morning to have a bit-o-fun. Yours truly will be at the race albeit going very slow. Yep, the first injury during IM training hit and the goal is to have fun, work on transition times then enjoy the festivities after the race.
On top of celebrating tomorrow morning, a really wonderful thing happened this past week. All of this blogging, talking, eating and breathing triathlon life has peaked interest of employees at work. Eight employees came to me looking to join in on an early summer sprint distance triathlon. I could not believe the interest level as every single person would be a first timer. It was absolutely exhilarating to see the excitement in their eyes. I know they can do it as long as they set their mind to it. Congratulations girls – committing to the race is the first step!
Enjoy your week and if the weather is nice outside where you live – go outside and do something good for yourself. If the weather is not so nice – stay inside and workout at home or the gym. It’s important you take care of you in order to take care of others.
Talk to ya next week,
Janet
