I have always subscribed to the thought that you "try, try and try again" but I have to say I am not a believer in "TRI, TRI, TRI again". In part, I am sure it is due to my lack of preparedness for the swimming and biking. The other part being that I just did not enjoy it that much. It was hard, I was tired, glad that we went but even happier that it was behind me. Perhaps that is something that I will want to TRI again in the future when I am stronger and in better shape. But as for now, at least I found that the part of the triathlon that I figured was going to be the hardest ended up being my favorite... the running.
I can say that I took a few really good things away from our mini-TRI experience. The first being that I found a great training partner. Amanda and I have been running together ever since then. We take turns dragging each other out but we both share that love of making our feet move from under us. Second is just the love of jogging that developed through the TRI training process. Third, we set a goal and accomplished it. For now my motto still is "TRI, TRI, TRI... Never again!".
