Strangely enough, my wife talked me into doing a triathlon about a month ago. I liked it enough that I've done 3 now.
I've hated swimming since I was forced to take lessons as a kid, and haven't swam since then (not quite 30 years I'm guessing). So, I've been swimming.
I have hated bikes forever, and haven't ridden one since I got my driver's license, which was not quite 25 years ago. So, I got back into that. There have to be 1000 miles of local trails, and some of them are so much fun you don't even know you are getting a workout.
I've always been a decent runner, so haven't really done much running. I figure most of that training happens during competition.
It has been a fun change of pace. Keeps you active, there is a ton to work on (I'm the worst swimmer I know) and you have constant improvement to keep you motivated.
Somehow, I've gained almost 15lbs, which I have never been able to do before. Should be an interesting fall.
