Almost Triathlon

Jogging along the orange cones around Lanikai loop and being passed by much faster runners with smeared black marker numbers on their arms, hearing the cheers from the triathlon race attendants at different checkpoints, wow! It was extremely encouraging!

The bikes lined up on special racks were filled with amazing high performance racing bikes.
Athletes were sprinting over, dripping wet to get back on their bikes. It felt like an Ironman competition.

I could see the swimmers in the water after completing their run. From the top of the hill, it looked like a mile long swim to the set up buoy.

I wasn't actually racing, and it was almost over as my newly appointed fitness coach and fellow paddler jogged through the race course along with other fitness enthusiasts like us. It was still very exciting and I am really inspired to want to actually participate in one of these events.

I have a lot more work to do to achieve my personal fitness goals, but if you ever need a big boost of inspiration, run through a designated race course, if possible. Even though I know the race attendants weren't cheering for us exactly, it felt special :)

Tomorrow is my first day of my all veggie detox. I'm planning on making a green smoothie or assorted veggie salad. I truly hope to have great recipes to share while I do this.

Wishing you a healthy fun week!
Love and Aloha,
Maile
