The Seasonal Triathlete is the personal blog of a regular guy who enjoys the sport of Triathlon. This is a chronicle of training and reflections while preparing for a step up to 70.3 distance.

December 27
Nice easy post Christmas workout today with a 25 minute run and 1,000 yards in the pool. Legs felt great and I could have gone much farther in the pool. Looking to get back to a spin class on Monday.
After a few years of joking about being the "least fit triathlete in America" with my casual racing friends I have decided to drop the title. Why? I am no longer the least fit triathlete in America. I am now and forevermore The Seasonal Triathlete. I have a family with two young children, a full time job and the trappings that go along with being a regular person. I do not have unlimited funds, lots of spare time, or sponsors. I am in good enough shape to finish an Olympic distance race and feel fine, but am definitely not a fitness freak. I race to have fun, have a goal, and challenge myself physically. My 2010 big races are The Escape from Alcatraz on May 2 and a repeat of the Augusta 70.3 on September 26th.
