It begins tonight

Training for a Super Sprint Triathlon. That would be a 400m swim, 10km on the bike and a 2.5km run. Now that I can consistently do a 27 minute 5K (without fear of heart attack) it is time to push things a bit. I am not much of a swimmer so naturally I won't start there (in my twisted mind there is logic to that - well that and my gym doesn't have a pool) but I see how hard it is to do 10km on a stationary bike and then 2.5km on the treadmill. I have no frame of reference for this kind of thing so I really have no idea how long it will take. I am guessing it will take somewhere around 45 minutes but I'll find out soon enough.

I’ve thought about doing one of these—you’ll have to let me know how it goes. For me, though, the challenge would be the running, because I cycle and swim all the time. Running scares me—I’m afraid of damaging my knees!
