On Saturday, October 20, 2012, at 7:30 am I will jump into Lake Minneola and begin a 2.4 mile swim. Following the swim I will then complete a 112 mile bike ride and a 26.2 mile run. The event is the Great Floridian Triathlon in Clermont, FL and it will be my first time competing in an iron-distance triathlon.
This blog is intended to be my training log. I will record my daily and weekly workouts, as well as my mental and physical state,with the intention of tracking my progress as I draw towards race day. In addition to logging my workouts, I will post race reports from the half dozen or so events I will be competing in before the Great Floridian.
Finally, this blog gives me accountability. I anticipate the preparation for this event will be difficult and will take a great deal of focus on my part. By recording my workouts and making them publicly available for all to see (though "all" probably isn't that many), it gives me one more tool in the belt to help my motivation during the inevitable ups and downs of my training.
