I Did What?

Edited to add:  I started writing this post early in June.....good thing I don't put everything off quite this long.  So finally, here's the saga: I like to keep myself in pretty good shape.  I eat well, exercise regularly, like to try new things like kickboxing, but I'm no athlete.  So then why, last Saturday morning (June 6th) at 6:30 am, was I pushing my bike along the path to the park where I was registered for a sprint triathlon?  Yes, that's right - triathlon. Now if you've been reading my sporadic blog for umpteen years, you might remember that I did a half marathon back in 2010 with the Princess.  Setting that goal for myself and achieving it with her at my side was a monumental accomplishment for me.  But I found out that I really don't like running and, despite my best intentions, really didn't keep up any sort of a running program after that.  I do normal stuff like walk and work out at the gym with weights (and tried kickboxing last spring!)
