I write as TriGirl on Tri-ing to be Athletic.
I started this site back in December 2010 after finishing my second half-marathon. My husband and I were having a lovely post-race brunch and he said to me "You know, you could do some fun pictures and start blogging about this!" After all, any time I told my friends and family members about my experiences I always got a few laughs.
A couple of years ago I fell prey to peer pressure at the office and signed up for a triathlon. Wait. What? Yeah, it was pretty crazy. I hadn't been on a bike since I was 10, and had quit swimming shortly after that. Oh, and I was never much of a runner. Needless to say, starting these sports up at the ripe old age of Thirty-(stifle, mumble, mumble) was full of ridiculous moments...many of which my husband wished he could have uploaded to You Tube.
Over the past 3 years my training has evolved. I have not a single athletic bone in my body but I am very slowly getting better. My site is a way for me to always find the humour in my less-than-finessed activities.
And, I've found a whole community of new friends along the way!
