Triathlon. Until this week I wasn’t even sure how to spell it. Shouldn’t there be another “A” in there somewhere?

Last year Cassandra and I had a brief discussion about always wanting to do a Triathlon. Well, a mini one anyway. We both turned 36 this past year so hey, why not!

From trying to figure out what to eat, how often to work out, what kind of running shoes to get, who is going to teach me how to swim properly, what kind of bike should we have? All of these questions and more still have to be answered. However, if you would like to just live vicariously through us, this is ok too J

See you at the finish line!
