June 8

Decided not to race tomorrow. It required a 3+ hour drive after work tonight, then another 1.5 in the morning to get to the race site. And my body is...tired. Just didn't seem worth it. Yes I lose the race entry, but I save 3 tanks of gas & a night in a hotel room...while still having to get up super early to get to the site. Sucks, but, oh well.

"Ran" to meet friends for happy hour & dinner. 97 degrees. So hot. Ran when I could, walked much too.

I've been busy & lazy this week. Ugh. I'm going to hate myself for it.

Has anyone else seen the new Lulu Jumper?! WANT!

Ok, results are up and imported. I'm a dummy and accidentally put them into the BtK race that's THIS weekend and didn't know why I had to change distances on the RR. I don't think sometimes. 

Anyway, my mini breakdown of splits:

swim: bad. Even though I haven't swam in 2 months, over 2:00/100 is slow for me, especially just 500m. 2 gagging episodes in the duck-shit water (so, so gross) and my tri top being too big makes sense.

bike: no expectations. My worst event always and least favorite. Surprised I averaged 15 considering the big hills in the middle of the out-and-back

run: got off the bike and told myself "under 30min". I had NO idea if this was possible given my less than stellar training (none) and my extremely sore legs from CrossFit. So, I was very pleased I squeezed that one out!

Results from Sat aren't up. 

New week! Was lazy yesterday and napped, cooked, etc. Back to the grind this week. School starts today too, but I'm only taking one class so hopefully life won't change too much. I've been so productive during this break!

CF and maybe a trainer ride tonight.

Ooopsies. Up goes another one. ---------------->>>>>>>>>>>
I wouldn't say I had enough 'fun' yesterday to want to do another tri, but there's one next weekend in Ft. Sumner, where Billy the Kid was killed & buried. So, as much as I'm tired of travel, I just couldn't pass up the name, the location & the tombstone shirt. I probably shouldn't have signed up for a race within 24 hours of doing one. I guess I'll have to ride my bike again.
 

Me & Billy the Kid!
