Equipment Required

These are the shoes required for triathlon training. (I am quite fond of all of my shoes, but it seems a bit excessive, doesn't it?) As of today, there are 13 weeks to the St. George triathlon, and I find myself once again questioning why I signed up. Oh, that's right, its supposed to motivate me to work out. Maybe it's time to start thinking about training.It would sure be nice if I could wear these to race in. I could maybe get a respectable swim time. I'll have to settle for just wearing them while I swim laps.
And these, of course are for biking. I'm too much of a sissy to ride my bike outside right now, so I have to settle for the occasional spin class or maybe pull out the trainer. (Ugh.)

Next are the running shoes. (I just realized the Salt Lake half marathon is in April. If I'm going to run that I better get going.)
And now, more running shoes. These are to wear when I run on trails as opposed to the road (or the darn treadmill.)
And these shoes are just in case I decide to give up running shoes (or other shoes all together.)
Maybe next time I will address some of the other necessary equipment, ie. wetsuit, goggles, bike, helmet and appropriate apparel. Let the countdown to stress begin.
