Can't afford to even Tri...

This is going to be one of those whining sob blogs... Feel free to not proceed, fair warning!

I LOVE love LOVE my triathlon training. I mean it! I love it! However, having quit my job to be a stay at home mom has left us more than lacking in the funds department of life and the world of triathlons is not cheap. I need a bike, it is a necessity. I have a total of $0 to spend on a bike. We decided to use my bike savings to pay off a credit we took out last year that had 18 months of no interest on it, since we cant afford to have that interest tacked onto our bill. UGH BILLS I HATE YOU!

So, do I keep training? or do I find something less pricey? The biking is what I love the most, I would consider just biking if I needed to choose just one aspect of all this. I guess that's what kills me.

This has gotten me down, more than I have ever been down in the past. I want this. I really really want this, but I need to figure out a way to pay for it.  I know I wont put my heart and soul into my training again until I know it is even tangible to complete this race with equipment that I can safely use training with the little one in tow over the summer. I'm definitely looking for something second hand but  I cant just get whatever is cheapest.

Please... I need to find a way. Do they offer Triathlon Scholarships? Maybe I should just sell a kidney, people pay money for that right?
