The Bearded Triathlete: Time to get serious

Time to get serious

So, I've pretty much effed off since last year's triathlon. Shame on me. I've regained my focus, and am back working up to getting myself back in condition to train for Custer.

2012 Xterra Last Stand Tri Goal

Last year, I had an ambitious goal of 1:53:00. I was off that time by ten minutes. The official time was 2:02:18. After last year's triathlon, I basically went from one extreme to another. Eating right and exercising all the time to hardly exercising and eating whatever I wanted. I basically did this until mid December 2011. Six months of losing my fitness level I had worked so hard to attain. I have 5 months to get that back and hopefully then some. With that being said, I really want to beat last year's time, but will also be happy with finishing..

How the quest began

Over the July 4, 2010 holiday, I was hanging out with my family thinking about my training for a simple 184 mile 2 day bike ride the upcoming fall. While I was thinking over my training and the upcoming ride, I got the feeling that just the ride was too easy. (Later to be proved wrong) I decided that it was too late for 2010 to complete a triathlon after taking about 10 years off from any sort of consistent physical training. So I set myself a goal to complete a triathlon in 2011. I have found "the" triathlon, the Xterra Last Stand at Fort Custer in Augusta, MI on Sunday, May 22, 2011.
