swingate on January 2nd, 2006

Okay, so I already announced i’m training for triathlon now. This year I’ll just be doing individual 5Ks, 10Ks and half century bike (50 mile) rides. I am currently following a “couch to 5K” running program with some cycling interspersed. I have picked out my first two events for 2006.

Bike - Solvang Half Century on March 11
Run - Seal Beach 5K/10K on April 1. I’ll do the 5K distance.

I might do the Los Alamitos Race on the Base 5K on Feb. 25 if i’m feeling my Wheaties, but I don’t think I’ll be ready at that point. I would aim for the Los Angeles Triathlon sprint distance on Sept 10 but I want to lose at least 25 lbs (preferably 35) before I spend $400 on a wetsuit.
