A couple weeks ago I got something in the mail on the LLS TNT and thought it looked fun. You join the "team" and train together for a common event. So I went to the informational meeting tonight. I wondered if their trainers could really get someone like me fit enough to complete a triathlon in this short of time. They said if you follow their schedule and train with the team each week, I will be able to get to the finish line. So I took them up on the challenge.
Here's how it works...You sign-up for a small fee ($50) and you commit to train and raise money for LLS. There is a minimum that you have to raise, because they pay for all the expenses for your trip. They offer everything from a century ride from Louisville to Lexington to a marathon in Maui. Of course the Maui trip is more fundraising to do...but how fun would that be?
I decided on starting with the tri in Lexington. I always wanted to do it, and here's my opportunity. I get coaches and mentors to push me. They offer fitness, nutrition, and gear clinics. Teach you everything you need to know about technique. It would cost me way over $50 for personalized training like this. Plus, we are raising money for a great cause.
Our kick off is next Tuesday, June 9. We will get to meet our coaches, mentors and honorees.
Can't wait!
Continue following me on this incredible journey. I will try to write at least once per week, if not more. My fundraising website will be up soon. Maybe you can help sponsor me too.
