Since I have completed my first triathlon in June, I have wanted to do another. A triathlon that my uncle organizes, the Suncoast Triathlon at the end of October, seems to be a great next step. Like my previous triathlon it is a 1/3 of a mile swim and a 5k run, but the bike is only 10 miles compared to the 14-mile bike of the Tri the Parks. The triathlon will be held at Fort De Soto Park in St. Petersburg, Florida located on the Gulf of Mexico. This means that the swim will have a nice beach entry but it will also be open water, which will mean waves (and they could be big ones.)
I think the biggest challenge I’m going to face with this triathlon is the training. Now that I’m located in Orlando, I don’t have my gym membership to practice swimming and I haven’t yet found a group ride to practice cycling. I know the solutions seem simple, but the fact that my boyfriend and I could be relocating at any moment for employment complicates the problem.
The good news, I have 70 days to figure all of this stuff out.
