After many, many years of knowing @chrisontherun I finally did a triathlon. See, when I first met him, that’s all he did. In fact, many cycles of training and support from me helped him finally finish a full Ironman. (See what I did there, Chris, taking credit for your finish 😂)
Anyway, back to me. I did an Olympic distance and practiced open water swimming exactly zero times. I completed the cycling distance one time before race day. The run, pssh, that was cake because I have run many 10ks.
I finished in 3:03 and was equally happy and motivated for faster/better/more. Like the overachiever I am. Oh and I beat Chris’s best finish time. Because yep, I’m that friend. I may or may not also be using this post to motivate him to train again… 😁
Anyway. Now I might just sign up for another.
