Well I did my first triathlon over the weekend. It was just a sprint distance, 1/4 mile swim, 15 mile bike and 3 mile run, and I can tell you I am now addicted to triathlons!! What a rush, it drains you both physically and mentally. Any of those single sports and distances on their own are pretty easy, but go back to back to back as fast as possible with them all and it becomes a challenge for sure. To keep the mental strength to keep yourself going in itself is a chore. I love it, it was physically demanding and I cant get enough of it. I have already signed up for another and likely their will be a third yet this year. The first was an excellent learning lesson in how to do them, so the next one I wil be better prepared for how the transistions work and such. Now I want to try an olympic distance one, 3/4 mile swim, 30 mile bike, 6.2 mile run. The training has begun for that
