Tri Again!

In 2002 I did my first triathlon...and then three more! The next year I did two, and I may have done one in 2004. Then we went through our period of trying to get pregnant. With the infertility meds I had to take, and the constant hope that soon we'd have success, I backed off from signing up for something 3 months down the road. That was always in the range of "maybe we'll be pregnant then!"

In 2007 we learned that we would not be able to have kids biologically, save a miracle of the sort Sarah and Abraham had. We were so blessed to adopt David! I don't have any excuse for not training since he came along -- after all, my body didn't go through pregnancy for him! Still, fertile or barren, motherhood keeps you busy (as does teaching). I'm a morning exercise person and it's hard to get something in before school, and hard to do much besides stroller walks/runs in the afternoon.

Well I'm proud to say I signed up for a tri again! And I plan to sign up for at least one more this year (but the one I want, recommended by my friend Matt Sherry, isn't taking registrations yet).

I'll be doing the Utah Summer Games tri at Sand Hollow Reservoir in Southern Utah. We have friends in St. George we'll see that weekend, too, I'm already very excited. I signed up for the sprint length -- 750 m swim, 14 mile bike, 3 mile run. Not too bad, though I still have a long way to go before I'm ready!

Anyone want to join in? It'll be a blast!
