Today, Cindy and I went for a walk/run together for 8 km. I had run a longer distance individually, but this was the longest Cindy had run and the longest we'd run together. We took this picture on our return home. While Cindy's just starting running, she's faster than me and makes me pick up the pace. I'm thinking that running together is going to help me quite a bit in training for October's Olympic distance triathlon.
It looks like a Chiang Rai International Triathlon is going to happen at the end of May. There's some building interest and our school's mission club is considering sponsoring the event. I'm pretty excited about it and will work on the logistics of it, as well as run it. The Chiang Rai Triathlon will be a sprint, which will be wonderful prep for the Olympic distance.
This afternoon, I went out for a bike ride to scout a possible route for the triathlon. It was rough and tough! I'm thinking that will not be our course. It was lots of steep grade hills, roads with gates across them, and a few off-roading spots. I'm thinking that our first triathlon here needs to be more of a flat course to help all of us beginners, me included!

Sounds like a fantastic opportunity to get involved both planning and entering the race. Exciting times. I still haven't done a sprint - sounds like too much of an all out effort for me :)
Congrats to the two of you for running so far together :)
