Second triathlon!

Completing a triathlon was one of the first things I crossed off the list. But it was way too fun not to do again. So Catherine and I are doing another one in August, this time with longer distances and for a great cause. We're doing the Iron Girl Triathlon in Columbia through Team in Training, which raises money for leukemia and lymphoma research.

We went to the welcome breakfast this morning, and it was so awesome. We heard from some blood cancer survivors and a bunch of people who have participated with the group before. I read about the 11-year-old cancer patient who is our "honored teammate" this season (she is so cute!). I am SO excited about this. We'll be training with other Team in Training members, and coaches, for the next few months (the race is in August), all while raising a minimum of $1,600, which is a little daunting. So, I don't know who still reads this silly blog anymore, but if you do, please consider donating to get me closer to my goal, and you can also come see us race in August! Hopefully I don't drown in Centennial Lake.
