I am about 3.5 weeks deep into my official triathlon training (which I am counting as having started when I began swimming a few weeks ago, since I was already running and cycling). So of course now that the prospect of doing triathlons has gone from "something I could possibly do in the future" to something I am actively training and planning for, I am fiendishly compiling my race schedule.

So far, this is my plan:

12/9/07 - Tinsel Tri (sprint tri in Hemet, CA)
1/20/08 - Carlsbad 1/2 marathon (not a tri, but a good reason to bump up my running)
3/22/08 - March in Motion (olympic tri near San Luis Obispo)
5/4/08 - Wildflower olympic tri
sometime later in 08... half IM? who knows...

Everyone in my family thinks I am crazy, and my husband and sister (the two people I talk to most) are getting really annoyed. My husband is polite about it and doesn't tell me I'm irritating the crap out of him. My sister, not so much.

No one understands my obsession!!!
