After a few weeks of toying with the idea, I finally took my decision and registered yesterday for the Sprint Triathlon event (Sunday race) in Leamington this coming June 21. The name of the event is kind of funny: TOMATOMAN. That’s because the area is well known for the production of tomatoes.  Here is the link to the event:

I never thought I would do something like that: I have never participated in a sport competition event of any kind before. The Sprint Triathlon has half the distances of an Olympic triathlon: 750 m swim / 20 km Bike / 5 km run.

While I am in decent shape after general cardio and weight training since January, my expectations are pretty modest:

- I only started swimming in March (and I am slow!);
- I only started biking 1 month ago, and my bike is an Hybrid;
- I only started running 3 days ago;
- The event is in 3.5 weeks only.

Therefore, I just hope to finish the event and hopefully not in last position. That would still be a good achievement considering I was 60 lbs overweight just a few months ago.

Who is game to join me?
