One of the goals I set for myself this year was to compete in and finish a triathlon, and today I am happy to say that I have. Yesterday I competed in the 2nd anual Cohasset Triathlon.
Now, half-way through 2008, I have goals 1 and 2 for the year crossed off:
1. Become Debt-Free -- Done June 5th
2. Complete First Triathlon -- Done June 29th
3. Finish 2nd co-op with Intel with Excellent marks -- In Progress until Sept. 19th
4. Drop below 200 lbs. -- In Progress, current weight: 222 lbs.
This triathlon was one pretty expensive thing that I was saving for while I paid off my debt, which I know Dave Ramsey doesn't really believe in doing when you are paying off debt. But I have to say that the feeling of accomplishment is great, so if you feel passionate and want to do something that you know will give you a great moral boost, I say go for it if it can fit in your budget and not delay your getting out of debt by too much. But just know that it will keep you in debt for a bit longer.
