It all started when I raced Ironman 70.3 Miami on October 27, 2014. I completed 3 sprint triathlons and was immediately HOOKED. I don't know exactly what triathlon consists of that has me so addicted. Maybe it's my hyperactivity. Some say that running is their "drug." I think that it is my way to reflect on my life. During my training days I have to concentrate on what I am doing to help better myself and this is the only way I can focus on just "me." According to www.dictionary.com, triathlon is defined as an athletic contest comprising three consecutive events, usually swimming, bicycling, and distance running. I think I like the contest part of it. Maybe it's the 3 events back to back. Maybe it's the challenge to push myself to the limits. I don't know what the answer is nor do I worry about finding it. I just know that I LOVE TRIATHLON. There is a difference between "Ironman" and "ironman." Do you know the difference? One of the best parts of this event was that I had the chance to race with a friend from elementary school. It's been years since we have seen each other but it is cool that we have the same hobbies. I wish she would race Cozumel. Her time will come one day.
