Just keep moving

I knew training for a Triathlon would be difficult, but I was not anticipating the ups and downs of the process.  One day you're breaking personal records and have no doubts that you'll be able to actually finish the triathlon.  Then, the next day you fall off your bike and can't run 100 yards without excruciating pain.  And, you certainly have all the doubts that you won't be able to finish the triathlon.

I guess if you think about it, it's a lot like life.  Some days you are having a great day and everything is going well, then all of a sudden you have a terrible day and nothing goes right.  Either way, you just keep going and trust that God's going to pull you through to the next good day.

I'm four weeks into my official training and four weeks away from the big race.  I'm feeling pretty good about the swim portion of the race and the running part of the race.  But, riding a bike for 10 miles has turned out to be a lot more difficult than I had anticipated.  Who knew?

I'm still excited about the race but there's definitely still some doubts hanging around.  Hopefully over the next four weeks I'll have more good workouts than "fall of your bike workouts" and be able to have a great race day.  Just gotta keep moving!
