USA National Challenge Competition Ends

Having joined the local triathlon club in the fall of 2008, I had my first opportunity to participate in the USA National Challenge Competition as part of the Northwest YMCA Triathlon Club. Despite my minor injuries and winter-related illnesses (thank goodness that's over), I logged in 517.92 miles. That is the overall totals for three months of my initial IMAZ training. Initially, this seemed like a lot but knowing what lies ahead is a reminder that this is nothing in comparison to what's to come. Nevertheless, I welcome the challenge. As a club, with a great deal fewer participants, overall we came in 20th in the total logged miles for clubs out of 45 clubs. I had a good time participating and reporting my daily mileage. It seems like a bigger deal when you report to "someone" and are part of a team rather than simply writing it in the tri-log.

Can't wait to see how many miles I log in the coming months. Hoping to get off the trainer and on the road when the weather warms up!
