Why a Triathlon?

As many of you know I moved to Arizona in July of 2008 and after the hot summer the weather cooled down and I was drawn out doors. I began thinking of an activity to inspire me to spend more time outdoors. I looked in to running first. I could not picture having the motivation to run marathons or even some shorter races. Then I found the SHEROX triathlon. The SHEROX tri is for women and is an sprint race where I will swim .5 miles, bike 13 miles, and then run 3.1 miles. With 2 months left to prepare i believe this is something I can do. My goal... to cross the finish line.
