competitive athleticism

I’ve been biking running and swimming for the past few weeks. I’m trying to train for a triathlon. Why? I don’t really know. But, as repeatedly noted while we were living together, I am goal oriented.

I was going to get into the chicago triathlon, but that’s already closed. On the other hand I’ve been meaning to see vancouver for awhile now, and they have a triathlon on labor day. It’s tremendously expensive to fly directly to vancouver, but I could just fly to seattle with a free southwest voucher & then bus it up to vancouver for less than $100. That would make the out of pocket travel expenses plus the registration for such a trip less than the registration for the chicago triathlon. Hmmmm.

I should hop on this one pronto.

    1. That’s a very good point. However, we can cut this problem in half. My current bike is fine for <10 mile trips, especially, now that it has a rack, shopping trips. It is terrible for competition. I could buy my bike in Vancouver and ship it from there. Or maybe rent something there...
