Levi's 1st Triathlon!!!!!
Raising Funds for the Monarch School
Swim, Bike, Run
Hello friends and family members. This is going to be my first triathlon event and I am very excited! I will be competing in the Xterra Wetsuits Solana Beach Triathlon & Duathlon

July 27, 2008 Solana Beach, San Diego County, California

What better way to participate than to raise money for a great cause!

It’s a tough reality that not all kids are given the same opportunities. Monarch School works closely with the community and the San Diego County Office of Education to change that. They provide an accredited education to homeless and at-risk kids while caring for basic needs such as health care, food, clothing and personal hygiene. Your help can make a difference. Every donation is tax deductible!

Thank you in advance for your support and check back regularly for updates on my training progress, which will begin 5-5-08!

Well I haven't even began training yet and I just got an email about a man who was bit by a shark off of Solana Beach. It is kind of scary, but I will still participate in this triathlon.

I started training this week and I have to say, WOW!

I have not worked out like this since my freshman year in high school.......14 years ago!

I thought this was going to be a piece of cake, and I'm sure it will, but it is going to take a lot of hard work to get into shape!

So training is still kicking my butt, but I am starting to feel better about it. I am not as soar the next day and I feel like my endurance is starting to build. 9 weeks to go!!!!

5-23-08

Tuesday, May 27th, I will be at the Monarch School to cook for the kids and their families. It is going to be great to get to meet the kids.

I also want to give a special shout out and props to Christopher King (Cable)! Thanks for being the number one donor!!!

Thank you to everyone who has already contributed to this worthy cause and to those that will!!!

I just did my first 3 mile run today and I feel great! I did the run in 28 minutes and 50 seconds!!! I feel really good about the biking and running portions, so now I need to focus on my swimming!!! I did not get to go to the school yesterday because they could only have 15 people in the kitchen: ( I will shedule a tour for sometime next month.

Hello everyone. I have a few things to report on. First, we have a new top Donor!!! Thank you Sarah, Kaycee Dia, and little Levi!!! : ) I love you all very, very much!!!

So I have my first injury. Nothing serious, just a little ankle sprain from running down hill. It should be healed in a day or 2.

I am very excited because so many wonderful people have shown me their support and that has motivated me to TRI my hardest. I went into this thinking it would be a piece of cake, then I started training......that scared me a little. But now, it is starting to seem, well; not easy, but attainable : )

7-03-08

Hehehe.....so i have another injury. I was running and tripped on the sidewalk...lol

I banged my knee up pretty good but it is almost healed now. I am excited!!!! There are only 3 weekends left for me to train! I fell off a little last week but am back on track now. So far my biggest concern is the swimming portion. I swam 1/4 of a mile yesterday and it was tough. I will be swimming everyday from now until the event. Hope to see you there!
