Going to compete in a sprint triathlon on Oct 3rd. That's 7 wks away!!! 500m swim, 18 mi bike, 5k run. I'm not worried about the run at all and as long as my knee holds up I don't think the bike will be too bad. Now the swim is another story. One week into training and I am getting much better at swimming but still a long way to go. Goal is to swim 2-3 days/wk, bike 2 days/wk, run 1-2 days/wk, and still crossfit at least 3 days/wk. It sounds lofty but I really think it is doable and will make for a great first triathlon.
Today:
Swim: 14x25m rest varied from 15 secs to a minute between swims. Need to slow down my stroke, I tried counting 1 mississippi, 2 mississippi, breathe and that seemed to help a lot. Going to try and set up lessons sometime this week to get better technique.
Ran 5k at LaFortune about 30 mins. Not too bad, even after swimming. Running is all a mental game and I won it tonight, go me!
I was pretty happy with myself for working out twice after getting back from Dallas. I'm really excited to go pick up my bike tomorrow at lunch. Fingers crossed that my knee cooperates with my triathlon plans!
