I'm Retired

I've decided to retire from the wonderful world of roller derby and since for the first time in a while I'll have quite a bit of free time on my hands (outside of my grown-up 9-5 job) I sought immediately to fill it with other types of athletics. Starting at the end of January I'll be training with Team in Training to compete in the ELEVEN Lake Occonee Olympic Triathlon while at the same time taking part in the Crossfit East Decatur Spring Break Challenge where we train 4 days a week with our team, eat a completely 'clean' diet (no sugar, no grains, no dairy, no legumes) and complete benchmark workouts to measure our fitness gains. This is the most retarded thing I've decided to do in a long time.

One of the great things about training for an event with Team in Training is that it provides you with a team...to...train with...like it says... Anyway, so you've got a team, you've got coaches, you've got a whole network of support and you're all training and raising money to help cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin's disease and myeloma while also working to improve the quality of life of patients and their families living with one of these diseases. This will be the first time I've ever raised funds for something like this on my own. Its scary and exciting and meaningful and I'm going to document the whole journey here.

So, come one, let's get on the train to tri town.
