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 29
Didn't make it to Spin class on time today so hit the pool for 1,000 yards and finished right at 20 minutes. Felt good but need some new goggles, mine are not sealing well on one eye.
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.
