I did a triathlon!

I achieved a personal goal on Sunday. I completed my first triathlon.

Now you may expect that I’ll draw all the usual comparisons between sports and business, extol the value of perseverance, lay out the “10 things I learned about goal-setting,” blah blah blah.

I’m not.

It simply feels great to be in good shape, to feel fit, to feel strong. If you met me, “triathlon” would be just about the last association you’d make to this over-weight, over-50 person that I am. But I’m happy to report there were men and women of all ages, sizes and shapes at the triathlon, and I felt totally at ease at the event. I daresay most of us were happy with our achievement, most everyone already planning how to be fitter and faster next time.

I’m happy that I achieved my goal and I feel great. I’ll be doing more, I’m sure.

In the end, it is just so dang fun to be able to say “I did a triathlon!”
