One day while I was riding the South Lake Trail I rode through another activity that caught my eye: A Sprint Triathlon buried in among numerous other activities with hundreds of people sweating through the challenges.  Many were there just for the 5k run, the bike challenge, and some did both the run and the swim but, most were there for the Sprint Triathlon…a taste of all three.  After talking to numerous participants I just had to add this event to my bucket list of experiences.  The swim will be easy as I swim enough to instantly be ready.  Of course the biking will be a breeze, but it’s been 5 years since my legs dawned those running shoes.  So there you have it, my next challenge which means my riding time will be severely reduced while I ready other muscles in my body.  If I know my body and mind, when I cross the finish line of this new adventure my bike will be calling me to get back to putting some real miles on those new tires and drive chain I recently replaced.
