TRI HARD 2... here we go again!

So, this might be a bit premature, but I have an announcement to make...

I'm swimming, biking and running my way to another finish line... at the 9th Annual Nautica NYC Triathlon on July 26, 2009.

But this time... things are gonna be a little bit different.

First off, I'm no longer a brand new triathlete -- i'm coming back into this a seasoned athlete. Sure, it was 2006 - but some things, you never forget.

This time, I'm training and participating with my good friend Megan Edelson - an awesome friend who didn't know what she was getting herself into when she offered to help me volunteer at the NYC Triathlon 2008 (which got us early registration, and ultimately sealed our fate... regular registration for this race sold on in 22 minutes!)

Don't worry - this time, I'm not asking for any moolah. While training with Team and Training and the Leukeumia and Lymphoma Society was rewarding and wonderful, this year, Megan and I will be training with another team... TEAM LIPSTICK! An all-women's triathlon team based in New York City.

And, finally, this time, I'm going to be tracking a little bit more than just my triathlon training on this blog... I'm going to be tracking a weight-loss program, as well. Yes indeed, I'll be using my faithful social and family networks to help cheer me on as I complete some of my life's toughest goals.

So... now you know, and that's all for now. Thank you in advance for your support, and I will be back in touch closer to when I start my training... Feb 10!
