OK......I SEACHED FOR JUST THE RIGHT SIZE TRIATHLON FOR ME......OR SHOULD I SAY FOR MY LACK OF ATHLETIC ABILITY. YEA !!!!! I FOUND IT !!! IT WAS CALLED THE "MAD DOG MINI TRI " HOW COOL IS THAT ? IT WAS THE SAME LENGTH AS THE MEEK AND MIGHTY ONE....BUT IT HAD ONE ADVANTAGE.......IT WAS AT THE BEACH...OH YEAH THE GLORIOUS BEACH ! MADIERA BEACH TO BE EXACT. BEAUTIFUL WHITE SAND GULF COAST BEACHES.....THE BEST IN FLORIDA!
MY NEXT GOAL WAS TO ENLIST A FRIEND TO GO WITH ME. BUT HOW COULD I CONVINCE ANYBODY....ANYONE THAT WAS AS UNATHLETIC AS ME....THAT THIS WOULD BE A FUN WEEKEND ?
MY SEARCH FOR A TRI BUDDY WAS ON............TO CONTINUE........

FROM THE GET GO
SO FROM THE START..............
ABOUT 1YR AGO I HAD THE HAIR BRAIN IDEA TO DO A TRIATHLON......OF COURSE A TRIATHLON IS A SPORT THAT INCORPORATES THREE DIFFERANT ELEMENTS..... YOU HAVE TO SWIM FIRST....JUMP OUT OF THE WATER AND GET ON YOUR BIKE.....RIDE THAT FOR AWHILE....THEN HOP OFF YOUR BIKE AND RUN ! THERE ARE DIFFERNT DISTANCES FOR RACES.....LIKE A SPRINT ( SHORTER RACE) A STANDARD DISTANCE ....AND THE ULTIMATE IS AN IRONMAN.....OF WHICH IM SURE I WILL NEVER ACHIEVE !!!!
I FOUND A WEBSITE CALLED TRIFIND......IT HAS RACES FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY....I FOUND A RACE CALLED ST.ANTHONYS.....PART OF THAT WHOLE RACE WEEKEND IS A LITTLE RACE CALLED " THE MEEK AND THE MIGHTY "....IT WAS THE PERFECT DISTANCE FOR ME TO START WITH.....A 200 YD SWIM, ABOUT 5.5ML BIKE RIDE...AND ABOUT A 1.2ML RUN......BUT BAD NEWS.......THE ENTRY WAS ALREADY CLOSED....OH DARN :(..........I WOULD HAVE TO CONTINUE MY SEARCH FOR THAT PERFECT RACE
THE SAGA WILL CONTINUE........
