Aqua Triathlon


We are finishing up our semester and starting to look towards the summer. There are so many great things to do! We are especially excited to go camping. The weather has finally started to warm up and the mountains look so inviting! We're hoping to plan a few trips with our outdoorsy friends. On a related note, we are both planning on the Aqua Triathlon in September. We are starting training this week. Matt reads his favorite triathlete beginner's book (Triathlon 101) every night and has come up with a great training program. We are starting small--walking, 50 yard swims, and short bike rides--but by the end of the summer we should build up enough endurance. We'll give updates on our training as we go along.

In between all the recipes, vacations, camping, and triathlons, we will be working, taking summer classes (gack), and studying for the GRE which we scheduled to take in July. This year involves a lot of sprinting to finish lines!
