This is my second Triathlon(sprint). I do the triathlons as a beginner, a wife/mom, and as an african american woman. When I share with others that I have done this and will do another, I get reactions like I am superhuman and/or questions about participating as a mom of 2 toddlers, as a black female(the hair and swimming issues that keep us out of the water), and as a not-so physically fit triathlete. Since viewing the movie Julie and Julia, I was very inspired about the reality of people actually reading my blog. I am in my third week of training and I am not a writer, I am an artist who dislikes writing. Let's see how this goes as I share the eight week training with you(in 5-6 weeks). Feel free to comment or ask questions. Answering questions is something that I love to do.
Some of the topics that I HAVE to include: real costs of a triathlon, african american hair, training plans, my experience with lap swimming and did I mention african american hair? As Oprah stated-you don't mess with a black woman's hair and water has made swimming off limits for many years. So, yes I mentioned african american hair twice. I anticipate questions on this one.
