Oh, look, it's May.
The triathlon is in May. May 18, less than three weeks away.
The training has been basically going well, except for the biking. I just haven't found time to get biking in. I've done a few 3 mile rides and a 6 mile ride, but the bike part of the tri will be 12 miles, so I really need to get with it. 12 miles tomorrow, I promise.
The swimming and running has been going fine. I've been training every Monday and Friday with my triathlon buddies.
The very best part of the training is the camaraderie. It's really the main reason I'm doing this at all -- I enjoy the company of my fellow triathletes. Being in good shape is a great fringe benefit.
My friends are all younger, stronger, and faster than I am, which is okay because they seem happy enough to put up with the old slow guy. But they also all appear to be possessed of a competitive spirit that I think I lack. I'm wondering if it's something one is born with or something one develops. If it is the latter, I'm wondering if it's something I ought to be working on.

Ah, best of luck with the triathlon! I'm not sure what the goal is with those, is it a contest where just finishing is the goal, sort of like a marathon, or is there expected a serious push to come in first, or in the top ranks?
