Hopeless Wanderer, Gotta Get Up a Tri

by // // Comments off

A couple of weeks ago, Xmas Dolly and her Monday Music Moves Me crew selected “Celebrities” for the theme and I just wish this video was available then.  This is easily my new favorite Mumford & Sons song simply because of the video.

This coming Saturday, I will be competing in my first tri of the season.  Over the past few months, it has been a long training journey and I feel pretty confident in my ability and my overall performance.  I’ve given as much as could and I’ve improved tremendously on my bike.  I’ve shaved some time off my swim and my running too.  Last year, I shaved 20 minutes off my over all Chaotic Coteeman time.  With all the time I’ve put into my training, I can’t wait to see how my overall time improves this year.

At least, I will definitely look faster in my new tri kit.

We’ll see how it all plays out this Saturday.  All I can do is get up and tri.

But just because it burns
Doesn’t mean you’re gonna die
You’ve gotta get up and try tri, and tri, and tri

For Music Mondays, I’m now teaming up with my good friend and fellow Marathon Mama, Chrissy.

      Thank you! I’ve done a few sprint triathlons before and they are very difficult for me. Running is my strength, but this three sport thing is tough. I honestly prefer marathons over tris. CRAZY, I know but I love pushing myself to do it and training harder and trying/tri harder.

    Not only will you look faster, but you look hot! Your body looks so toned! No sausage legs (unlike me in my suit!! LOL) can’t wait to hear how you do!!
