July 21, 2011

On the back end now.  Swam for 400 yards straight Tuesday night across the lake.  So that I can manage, an extra 40 yards isn't going to kill me.  Sunday I had a 70 min bike ride and a 35 min run.  It was a challenge, but I think it was difficult because of the heat and humidity.  I did have to have to take walk breaks during the run to catch my breath cause it felt like there was no air.  I have 16 days to go.  The training flew by.
I practiced the first transition Monday  night.  It seems ok.  I hate to say easy.  But I should be able to get in and out in a 1:30.  The 2nd transition I have been doing once a week for the past 3 weeks when I was doing the brick workouts.  That one is simple.  Its a matter of switching shoes and taking off your helmet.
For the first time in my training the muscles in the back of my arm/shoulder are sore.    More so in my right one.  For some reason when I am in open water I find myself only comfortable to breathe to my right.  The left is just a little uneasy and I can only do it for a few strokes.
Pretty soon I will officially be a TRIATHLETE!!!!!!!!!!!!
