Still on!

I'm still training for my half (although secretly I know I terribly want to do the 5k). Reason: I haven't done a solo 5k in like 10 years or more. I want to see what I got. I know with my back and feet injuries I'll never put in my sub-20 I used to; however, I still want to see how fast this old tank can fly. Went running with the girls last night and its so refreshing to hang out with them, have a good time, chat, and oh yeah we actually ran as well.

To run or not to run

That is the question. My gal pals are doing a half marathon the same weekend I'm doing the triathlon. They want me to join them. We'll travel about 6 hours away, stay at our friends cabin, and run the next morning. Sounds like fun. Can I do a half marathon? Not sure. I suppose I can train for it and see what happens. I found out there's a 5k as part of the race, so I suppose I will train for the half but if I feel its unattainable, I'll do the 5k. Here we go! Training starts today!

Next Triathlon

My next triathlon is in 2 and a half months. Training starts next week!

Results are in!

Well, I didn't achieve my goal; however, I came close and I'm happy with the results:

Overall: 1:23:24

Run: 30:57 - The run was 3.35 miles so not great but not bad for me.
Bike: 40:07 - The bike was 11.35 - more than I expected but still did decent.
Swim: 11:30 - Disappointed. The transition area was so far from the swimming pool that the walk on the gravel, through the parking lot, to the pool includes this time. So I don't know exactly how long I was in the water for.

My transition time was okay, could be better. I was happy I did the race but felt I could have done a little better. The race was not as well organized as I would have like; however, I got to race with my husband on our anniversary. Lots of love babe - we did it!

1 more day left!

I'm leaving in 30 minutes to pick up my bike. I rented a road bike this year. I did my last few triathlon's on mountain bike. You are sooo slow on a mountain bike so this year I rented. I'm saving up my pennies until I can buy one. I'm so excited to get the bike!! 1 more day left. Love the adrenalin rush!!

Half Marathon - GO Bro!

My brother did a half-marathon today. Top 25 out of 1500 contestants. Way to go bud, you rock!!!

Cold!

Haven't posted much about my weeks workouts because....they stunk! My family came down with a cold and I think I am on the brink of getting it. Swallowed lots of vitamins, drank fluids, and rested the last few days. Hopefully it has passed me by. The triathlon is in 7 days and I need to be tip-top!
