A triathlon!

Hey all.  Yep Karen said it.  I'm training through Team in Training for a triathlon.  My goal is to participate in the olympic triathlon which consists of .98 miles swimming, a 24 mile bike ride, and a 6 mile run.  I have not yet begun training with the team (our kickoff is this weekend), but I have been training on my own.  Since last week, I've been on 2 10 mile stationary bike rides, one 15 miler on the roads, I've run 3 miles 3 times, and swam almost 3/4 of a mile one day and a half another.  Granted I've a ways to go but I think I'm just about half-way there.

As part of the training with Team in Training, I am also raising money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.  TNT has been one of the largest, if not largest, contributors to the society, raising over $850 million since TNT's induction 20 years ago.  If anyone wants to contribute or just to check out my progress go to my TNT site: http://pages.teamintraining.org/sj/wildtri09/ktanaka

Thanks!
Kristyn
