CNN Fit Nation team member Linda Garrett rides whenever she can, hoping to get ready for the Nautica Malibu Triathlon on September 20.

Garrett, a nurse, has spent a lifetime caring for others, but now at 67, she is trying to take care of herself. She's getting in shape by swimming, biking and playing games at the gym.

Garrett hurt her knee and came down with shingles all during the first week of training.

Garrett is trying to push through her knee injury. She admits swimming is still a work in progress.

Garrett says lots of pool time has resulted in increasing endurance.
