I've been asking myself this question a lot lately...It seems like we've been training for this Tri forever!! It al lreally started last summer when we got our new road bikes and decided..thanks to Becky..we're doing a Triathalon...now its a little less than 3 months away..i've raised a bunch of money in honor of my cause..but sometimes I just feel like...man...i'm ready to do this..I don't want to train anymore..I want to get out there and race...well....patience grasshopper..its going to be here soon enough!
I purchased a training plan on active trainer...i've been doing the free one for a while now..but the real one started yesterday...and it is going to be tough!!! The 1st day was pretty rough..swimming and then running...it looked a bit daunting, but somehow, i talked myself into it..and I got it done!! Today is a bit lighter...I'm on the bike for 50 mins with a few intervals in there...I've been trying to ride my hybrid on the trail becuz its a lot heavier than my road bike, and well..it kicks my ass!!! We've also had a few hill rides with the nuggets..and i'm going to have to start getting out on the hills by myself now too...Its a little nerve wracking for me out on the roads by myself...but i know i can do it!
As far as the swim goes, I think i'm doing pretty well..sometimes I feel like my breathing or form isnt quite right, but i'm trying to work on improving that and practicing swim drills and balance drills.
The run is the part that i'm least worried about..i've been running for a long time, so I don't feel like my form needs to improve here at least...but i do have to get used to running after a swim and a bike ride! so we're going to be practicing a lot this summer...by doing some local tri's and some local rides as well....its all pretty exciting becuz after a year...we are getting down to the wire!! But i know we're all going to go out there and do our best and most importantly have a great time doing it!!
