This has been a weird year and it’s almost halfway over already. Truly, I can hardly believe we’re nearing the end of June and guess what I haven’t done this year? I’ll give you a hint…
Still need another hint? OK, I’ll use my fancy pants new Samsung phone to create another AI image…
I can’t give you a third hint because, well, then it’ll just be too easy for you. Plus, it’s in the title you goofball! We’re six months into 2025 and I haven’t done one triathlon.
It’s not totally my fault, though. Weather is also to blame. For one thing, winter. That’s why my first race this year was a duathlon (run/bike/run). Water temperature, even in Florida, can get really cold in the winter so a lot of races exclude swimming. If you ever want to participate in a winter triathlon, you’ll often see duathlons instead of triathlons.
And then… and then there was the storm clouds. Radar wasn’t looking good but I drove the two-hour trip to my first triathlon of the year only to have it cancelled 5 minutes before arrival. Seriously. Other friends of mine have had races cancelled, even 70.3 half Ironmans. So it’s going around like a flu. But I’m still training as if I have a race coming up soon… which is sort of true. Next race on the calendar is early July so I’m hoping to complete my first tri of the year with only 5 months left in the year. 🥴
