About 6 months ago I signed up for my very first triathlon at the Pasadena Rose Bowl. I was and still am super excited about this. 

Back then though March 2017 seemed so far away. But now, oh my goodness I am starting to feel a little bit of the nervous butterflies creeping in. 

5k run. 15k bike. 150m swim (in the Rose Bowl aquatic pool).  

So here’s what’s got me nervous. I know I can do each individually. But I’ve never in my life done each back to back. 

How do I train for this? Start running 3 miles and then jumping on my bike for another 9 miles? 

I know I’ve got this. I believe I can do it. I just need to focus and create my action plan.
