Goals

Okay, time to get serious about some goals for the duathlon. oh, first, why's it a duathlon and not a biathlon? Well, a biathlon is two sports, and just two events. With the duathlon it's two sports, but split so it can be 3 or more events. In the case of the R/S, it's run/bike/run.
Anyway, back to goals. Well, originally my goal was to finish. I don't think that'll be a problem, I'm pretty good at just plodding along and not stopping. The many backcountry death-marches I've done have given me the ability to just not give a shit and to keep moving forward. Instead, I have an odd goal of trying to lose 10 lbs BEFORE the event. The way I see it, that's the number one factor in making sure I don't injure myself and in being able to do the entire thing. Speed and such will come later. Anyway, so how am I going to lose 10 lbs? By training for the duathlon, avoiding the ice-cream acid trip, etc. See, so it all works together.
So: 10 lbs by April 12. I'm already down 2 lbs. I have 3 weeks to go. This can be done.
Do more, eat less, easy-peasy.
Later, gators!
