Boca Grande Triathlon Race

By
Real Estate Agent with Keller Williams Elite Realty

I am writing in response to the demand that I talk about my upcoming Tri race this weekend in Boca Grande. I have been Triathlon racing for about 5 years now and mainly participate in the "sprint" version, which consist of ¼- ½ mile open water swim, 10-15 mile bike followed up by a fast 5k run.  I began my racing as a form therapy and it has evolved into a passion. The thrill of crossing the finish line, arms in the air, is like no other feeling that I can describe and the sense of accomplishment and euphoria that stays with you for about 3 days should be bottled.  Racing and real estate go hand in hand. As a realtor you have remain disciplined and focused to cross the finish line, a closing.  I feel as though my racing has actually helped me professionally as you have to be very organized to complete all the training required to complete such a race and that's before the work day even begins. Typical training consist of 5-6 days per week, 1-2hours a day, with the weekends reserved for long training days ( 3-5 hours ) and then an open house or two.

 

Here is the picture from the end of last years race !!  It was sunny and cool with a very nice breeze. I will do better this year than last and that is a promise. My time was 1:30 and I am setting a personal goal to beat it... and I am not willing to make a time prediction but I will succeed !
