Welcome to our blog "AKA" hell. We (Kara and Heather "AKA" total rockstars in the making) have decided to take on our first triathlon. Let us tell you a little bit about ourselves. I (Kara) am 31 (about to turn 32), although I forgot that detail at the doctor earlier this week when I injured my right foot by wearing really high (3") heels. I know what you are about to say. Three inches is not very high. I hear you. However, in the words of my doctor, I am not 21 anymore. Well, this is what I have to say to that. I am going to kick this "tri" in the rear. As soon as my right foot heals, of course.
Now onto Heather. Heather is actually is in her mid- 20's and can therefore still wear high heels. She made the mistake of answering an off the shoulder question early in our roommate relationship. I asked Heather, "Hey, any chance you want to train for a triathlon?" Heather shrugged her shoulders and replied, "Sure, why not."
So, here we are. We are approximately two weeks into training. Painful in every way. Both Heather and I love good food, love the couch, and have a semi-serious addiction to all things sweet. However, we are also both Type A (or as I like to say, A-Type) personalities, so we are now obsessed and on a mission to tackle our first "tri".
In future posts, you will receive individual accounts from both Heather and I of how a particular workout or day is going. We hope you enjoy and can have a good laugh at our expense. Someone has to.
Tri' to stop us,
Kara & Heather
