A week ago Saturday I had a very good lesson in not giving up.
It was my club's annual transition clinic. I missed last year's so I was really looking forward to it even though I'm already pretty good at transitions. The video from last year looked like fun and I thought it would be a good idea to brush up on this stuff before my first race.
So I arrived early, set up my transition area and settled in. The coaches went through how they set up their transitions and two of them have seats! I have to say that this does not sit well with me. I have always gone by the adage "never sit in transition." I think this is the difference between being a young pro and an older coach. I suspect at some point I'll have to have a bucket or stool too as I won't be able to bend over without falling down. But until that point comes... never sit in transition!
This is the story of my struggles with my weight and my transformation into an endurance athlete. It's a work in progress that started 2008 when I decided to look into Weight Loss Surgery, had it, started to lose weight and work out, and it continues to today as I work to live life as a so-called thin person. I welcome you to join me on my journey, wherever it takes me.

ITU Worlds Short Course: Making the team
One of my long term goals has been to qualify for Team USA in some aspect of triathlon. I looked into it last Fall and decided my best bet was in Aquathlon (no, I don't know how that's pronounced either) because my bike is my weakest leg and because I do a ton of "Splash and Dash" races and most people don't do them at all.
To make the World Team, this is exactly what is said on the web site:
