Swimming and Riding and Running...OH MY!!
Three weeks left and I am getting excited. It was another great weekend of training but at the expense of something that bothered me dearly.
I had to pass on the wedding of my college roommate in Omaha. Granted, Brandon needed to attend class and put in some serious study hours, but still.
Advice for anyone considering an Ironman....let everyone know how much of a loser you will be! Because you will. By no means am I a stud Ironman triathlete either. I'm your Average Joe and I have missed a lot of important and meaningful stuff. Apologize in advance to your family and friends for the selfishness you will be displaying. Again, I apologize to everyone.
Last weekend was a good long run, however, I was dehydrated. I was so dehydrated I was looking longingly at dirty puddles of water. I also acquired nice chaffing under my arms from only wearing a sports bra (Ahhh, the lessons we learn in training). Nonetheless, this weekend was much better. Did a nice brick on Saturday and felt good. Granted, a 40 minute transition run is different than 26 miles....but eh!
Comical event [of the week] was me trying on my wetsuit in my apartment. You thought putting on tight jeans was hard! Try putting on that "bat suit!" Dry as a bone with some left over sand particles to boot! I'm just glad I got out of it and could make it in to work!
So now we begin to decrease miles and increase positive attitudes. Riding a century ride next Sunday with Len so that should be a blast.
As for now....TV. NICE.
The biggest congrats to Mick and Den on their wedding this weekend. I'm so very sad I missed it, but thought of you all day!
Katie
