It is official now...

Well it is official. I have signed up for 3 triathlons. I have a sprint on Feb 14, 09 (Swim 400 yards, Bike 9 miles, Run 2 miles), an Olympic Tri on March 14, 09 (Swim 1500 meters, Bike 24.9 miles, Run 5.5 miles) and a half Ironman on May 17, 09 (Swim 1.2 miles, Bike 56 miles, Run 13.1 miles). It is for real now. I am doing this. Here is today’s workout…
800m swim: 25m any stroke easy pace
25m freestyle fast
10 rounds of the following circuit:
10 pushups
10 curls (65 pounds)
10 thruster (75 pounds) Don’t worry about what a thruster is, not important.

Instead of a top five list I give you a disclaimer...
Before we go any further, let’s be friends…
I am not sure I totally understand the name, Blog, though. Isn't this just an online diary or journal (for those of us who think diary is for sissies and girls). I am not sure what a Blog is, but after being wrapped up in several of them for some time now, I have decided to take to the world wide web and contribute my piece to society.
A bit over dramatic, most likely, but for those of you who become loyal readers, or just unlucky passer-bys who happen to be reading this I will forewarn you that I tend to be an overdramatic person. At least in my head I am. I am not sure if my actions or even my reality is ever overdramatic, but my thoughts and the fantasy world in my head are definitely overdramatic. Also, a second warning. I am not very good at spelling. Nor do I really read what I write to ensure I write what I mean. In fact sometimes I can write the exact opposite of what I intend to say simply by leaving off certain letters. Can't can easily become can, and didn't can just as easily become did. So, please read not the words I write, but the message I intend to write. Or read what I actually write compare that to what you think I meant to write, then have a great big laugh about it in the end.
