A Tri

Yesterday I swam 750 meters. Then I ate lunch. Biked 13 miles. Ate dinner and watched What Happens in Vegas. Then I ran a 5K. So I did my whole Triathlon in one day. It felt great, except for the run. I guess I need to run every day for the next couple of weeks. I only have three left. AHHHH!!!

Biked today

I need to get out on the road though. I'm planning a long ride later this week. Just need to put some air in my tires.

My 5K

Wow, I walked a lot about half way through. I set a goal to finish with this army troop, and I did. Cause they stopped to do push ups and sits up at mile 2. A guy in a wheelchair beat me, and a bunch of 5 to 8 year olds. I really need to practice running. Too bad it just isn't fun like swimming and biking.

29 days to go.

I hardly believe how close it is. Today I swam in the rain. It was just a sprinkle but I could feel it every now and then. The great part is I swam 40 lengths. That's about 1000 meters. I only have to do 750 for the race so I was really proud. And I didn't ever even stop for breathe. And I didn't even do the back stroke for like the last 25 lengths. It felt so great. Can't wait to do it again.

Back in the water.

I finally got to work out today. And it felt great after the terrible week I had. I don't know what I'm going to do when they close the pool. I now love swimming. I think it is the best workout.

Last week is showing.

Five weeks left till the big day. This saturday is my 5K. But as you know, I didn't do so well last week and it showed today when I tried to run a half Tri. My swimming was terrible, and I couldn't run. But I'll try to get back on track this week. The pool is open until Oct 12! Yahoo!

I haven't given up

I went swimming on Tuesday. I did 3 groups of 8 lengths. I didn't even feel that tired after word. And then I had another great workout today. I biked for 20 minutes and then I ran 20. I really feel like I'll be able to do my 5K next saturday.
