T minus 4 days until my first triathlon. I'm excited but kind of disappointed in a couple things. 1) Forecast calls for thunderstorms all weekend. My trainer says it will go on regardless, but swim will be canceled if it is lightening. Still, I hate riding my road bike on wet roads. 2) I'm 95% sure my friend (whose idea doing a tri was in the first place) is going to bail on me. She hasn't met up for any of our planned training sessions, and I know she isn't training on her own. I texted her yesterday to see if she was ready and no response. ![]()
But, I'm getting the hang of this swimming thing! I can swim 300m (the length of the race) without stopping, and can do about half of that so far without using a back stroke (I couldn't even go a full 25m without stopping a week and a half ago!!). I'm working on increasing my time not having to roll on my back for a breather since I know it's not desirable. Besides the prospect of wet roads, I'm on track for the biking. The running is going okay. Right now, I'm in a walk a minute, run 2 minutes mode, which will probably be what I use Sunday. Not bad for someone with bad knees who shouldn't run!
