    I just did my first Sprint Triathlon and loved it - I sucked, but I really enjoyed doing it

    West-central IL here :)

    This is my third season of running (Running my 34th road race on Labor day...mostly 5ks, some 10ks and odd distances) and I am currently training for my first half marathon in September, and second in October.

    I also competed in my first sprint triathlon earlier this month! It was a tiny local race geared toward beginners and I ended up placing second in my AG! Very exciting!

    Next season I plan to run a full marathon and step up to an Olympic distance race; two year goal is a half IM.

    I've completed 2 sprint tri's a handful of 1/2 marathons and 2 fulls. I'm do this all at a snails pace but I'm ok with that. I do have a hard time trying to loose weight when I'm training though because I'm hungry and crave the bad foods. I'm really trying to watch the protein and make sure that I'm getting enough calories for fuel but not too many...and that it's the right kind of foods.

    My next race is in 6 weeks and I'm freaking out because I've not trained like I usually do AND I just moved to the Atlanta area from CA and the humidity and hills are killing me! The race has a 3.5 hour cutoff which is exactly my half pace. I just have to keep moving and I should be ok.

    I started getting into running this year. So far I've only done 5 & 10k races, but want to keep pushing myself to do a 1/2 marathon in the spring! :smile:
