Ok, so the girls started talking and got the brilliant idea of doing the 2009 Echternach Triathlon. So they started discussing the different ways of how to best train for it and that’s when my competitive streak kicked in and I started thinking: Hey, this could be fun, I am In!!!!
I like biking…The swimming isn’t to bad and the running…well, not great but I have two legs that can run if i make them, How hard can this be…:)
Then I realised that I have to swim 1.5Km which doesn’t sound that far but when you only know breast stroke…that could be a rather long distance…
Then I realised that to be able to do biking….40km, You will acctually need a bike!!!
Then I realised that I will acctually have to RUN 10km….Arrrgghhh:) I hate Running. Every time i run further than 2km, it feels like i am about to die….
That’s when the next thought crossed my mind: Let’s NOT do this, sorted, Maybe this isn’t such a good idea after all. That’s when the girls decided to make me the One to push them and make them train hard and i started thinking i can’t give in already, these girls are counting on me and better yet, This is a challenge, and I love challenges and i have been looking for the next challenge in life! Here it is!
So guess what, I wrote down on my ever growing Goals list: 2009 Triathlon and now all I have to do is start planning the training for it.Lot’s of swimming, maybe even try to learn proper swimming…Lot’s of running, starting off with intervalls…
First things first though…Hubby, I want a bike for christmas!
Jess:)
IF anyone has any good ideas for training for a Triathlon please come forward and tell me your secrets:)

Hiya
! I really really think it’s a brilliant idea 
!!! After the Triathlon, maybe we could go international as a team? Imagine doing the IronMan in just a few years time… but maybe also some “more” fun games like the Highland games in exotic countries such as, errr, Scotland 
!
! I suppose intervals are always the answer?
How do you like this site http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/? I wish I lived in Luxembourg right now and could train with all of you. But need to get to your level first and hope I will be ready in 9 months :o) … really wanna do it, much more fun than doing a marathon. As you know, I hate running too
