Went to the Iron Girl clinic/meeting at Penn Cycle tonight - babysitter fell through - so once again the kids are involved in my training. Took along the double stroller - we lasted 1/2 an hour before impending meltdown forced us to leave.
My takeaways - no one comes in last - even if there is nobody behind you there are how many thousands of people who are just getting out of bed - you're way ahead of them.
true so true.
First-timers - don't worry about time. How are you supposed to know what your time should be when you've never done this ? Just have fun and finish.
Only two people got kicked off the course for going too slow - so I think I can do it.
Tape pictures of things that motivate you or make you smile on to your handlebars - that will keep you going when things get rough.
- then Ben started screaming - time to make my exit....
Parent In Training
- Kay
- My name is Kay. I'm a parent in training to Ben and Vivian. I am also in training for the Iron Girl duathalon in September. It is an event for women only run 2 miles bike 22 miles and run 2 miles. It is my goal to accomplish this in honor of my 40th birthday. I also want to get healthy and fit after being perpetually pregnant since 2005. My husband Peter is also a parent in training. In addition is his training for the Twin Cities Marathon in October. So are we nuts? Two parents with two under 3 trying to fit in time to get fit? Perhaps. But we are enjoying the journey with our kids in tow.
