Triathlon Baseline

Signed up for the Abbotsford Triathlon today. The full Olympic distance. 1.5KM Swim, 40KM Cycle, 10KM Run. Not just the half Triathlon / Sprint Distance. It's my first ever Triathlon, something I've always wanted to challenge myself to do. Go big or go home.

The Triathlon gives me a big goal to aim for. Last year it was Mount Baker climb. This year is the Triathlon. It gives me focus to get more physically fit, eat better (less) and loose some weight.

I've baselined myself. I think I can do the swim less than 1 hours, the cycle in less than 2 hours and the run in about 1 hour. That 4 hours total elapsed time. Last years last place finisher had a time of 4:02:43. I want to beat that time. It's a modest time target. If I do better, then great. Remember this is my first triathlon, so that real goal is just to finish. Yeah!
