I am Athena.

And so it begins….

Which doesn’t bode well for someone using a social media platform for sharing their triathlon journey.  Sooo..about those updates.  I actually did three more 70.3 Ironman races since that last post.  It was quite the journey with highs and lows, and way way lows, and a dramatic finish to the last one.  I know, “Cool story bra,” right?  I’m trying to figure out a social media balance to posting and whatnot, so I’m starting over again.  I’ll be posting my next adventure on Tumblr and Instagram, and will be throwing back posts to share how I got to this point so you won’t miss the riveting tale of my Ironman coming-of-age.  About three of you will see this and maybe one of you will be interested, so let’s see how it goes on this Accountability Adventure.  We are embarking on an adventure to lose 50 pounds by the time I turn 50 years old on September 17 2022.  Also, Ironman 70.3 Number Five will be a week(ish) later on September 25th in Cozumel Mexico. You are my unsuspecting accountability partners.  You can join me along the way or not, but I need to put this out there into the universe and see what happens.  I will post at least twice a week to share progress, thoughts on my training, to reflect back on how I got here and to look forward to what’s ahead.  My instagram is @valerie69377
