Every once in a while my fiancé, M, writes in one of his blogs. He writes about his hobbies, his job, his family and friends, sometimes he even writes about nothing in particular. A while back he suggested that I should write a blog myself. “About what?” I replied; unlike a lot of people these days, who feel that they need to broadcast to the world every detail of their lives, I don’t consider my life interesting enough that anyone would want to read about it.
The subject was not spoken of again until a few days ago. As a Christmas present I paid for M to take a class on documentary photography and after going through the first part of the class –second part is next weekend-- he started talking about how he was going to practice what he had learned. It wasn’t really a big surprise when he announced me that he would be taking pictures of me and my triathlon training. I've been doing triathlons for a while now and usually he goes with me, keeps me company before my wave starts and then carries me back home once I'm done, taking some nice pictures in all the time in between those two. Also, for some time now I’ve been talking about how I want to complete an Ironman event and M, being the great fiancé that he is, has agreed to take me anywhere I choose in the world so that I can participate in one. Well, we talked about it some more and I thought it could be cool if we document this journey both with his pictures and with my words.
Which brings me here. As part of this blog I will share my experiences as I train to become an Iron(wo)man. It will be a long ride and it will probably be the case that few will find it interesting, amusing, helpful, or ________ (insert here any other reason you can think for reading a blog). However, I’m sure it will be fun and rewarding, plus, I’m going to have some really good pictures to go with it ;)
My adventures as a middle of the pack triathlete.
