From Thesis to Triathlon

I am glad to report that I finally finished the process of writing my thesis. It has been a great experience, but I'm also glad to be done. So what's next? I am taking a year between my master's and PhD. to do some more language study. I'll do another year of Attic Greek and a year of accelerated Latin. In the meantime I'll be putting together PhD. applications.

Besides the thesis, one other activity that has taken up my summer is triathlon training. I've spent my "free" time training for the three events of the triathlon (swim, bike, run). This will be my first Tri and because of that I am doing the shortest one possible as not to kill myself on my first try. It is a .6 mile swim, 12.4 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. I hope to someday do an IronMan. Perhaps the same year I finish my PhD?
