Subject: Washington First Timer Hello all... thought I better stop lurking. 4 weeks into a 12 week program in prep of my first Olympic. After talking with some people at the gym, now considering a sprint here in about 4 weeks. Got into pretty good shape leading up to training, 2 sessions of P90X after having our third child and realizing I weighed my heaviest ever, now down to about 165 from 190's.
Pretty excited but nervous as hell, realized I signed up for a tri that worked with my schedule (and excuse for a vacation/road trip ), but realizing altitude and cold water in Banff Canada maybe was not so smart. Oh well, no turning back.
Here are my "stats" to date:
Swimming is a weak point for me, swimming about 1000m in a given session in the pool so far. Still probably suck in more water than air. :-/
I like the bike, but still struggle on technique on the slightest of hills just road about 23 miles in 1:25 with a couple good ups and downs. Using my father-in-laws Specialized road bike that I am tweaking for tri.
Did the Seattle marathon a couple years ago around 3:50. I enjoy running and think that my be my strong point.
Thanks for the great resource!!! |
