My husband and I have always felt stronger and closer when we are training for events. We love talking about our training and what felt good, what didn't etc. <BR/><BR/>I struggled for a long time with fear and expectations. I failed my first Ironman attempt, but came back to finish two years later at a different venue. <BR/><BR/>I didn't want to hide behind my failure and use that for an excuse not to try hard or scary things. I had to deal with some issues, but it's been a great experience. That finish means more.<BR/><BR/>Our oldest son has done two youth triathlons. He is 7. I love seeing him do things that may seem scary at first, and then watching him find out how much he really can do. Changing expectations. <BR/><BR/>Here's to many more adventures!Sara Cox Landolthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297257752158859878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862323689676942101.post-47183121598618712412008-10-17T14:41:00.000-04:002008-10-17T14:41:00.000-04:00Very interesting.

I always love hearing about how people got into this (one of the reasons I started my blog at the very very beginning).Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09670066440911102412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3862323689676942101.post-85340025020270414832008-10-16T15:45:00.000-04:002008-10-16T15:45:00.000-04:00My first triathlon was a little over 6 years ago a...My first triathlon was a little over 6 years ago and it was to raise money for cancer research for my mom. One thing lead to another and the races started getting longer and longer. Then it became a goal to see how far a kid born with a congenital heart defect and who had undergone open heart surgery could go.<BR/><BR/>Why do I keep doing triathlons? I know that I motivate others. I know they are thinking, "If the chick who had open heart surgery can do this, I can do it too." Also, I hope that I am good healthy role model for my son.CoachLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06687275155229786220noreply@blogger.com
