After a reignited effort in health and wellness ensued various obstacle/mud runs, 5k, 10k and half marathon races and finally progressed over the hurdle of the dreaded swim to join the triathlon addiction, my first triathlon lead to much trial and error with the bike and swim, which then lead broadening my horizons to join the tri club.
