There ended up being a beginner Yoga class in our time slot. So Christy and I decided to door our own sessions. I didn't remember all the poses but the pose I did remember impressed me. I also was able to work on my bretahing

Yoga in the morning. Came home relaxed for a bot. Met up with Jackie for lunch at Mad mex. The beer I had was non pleasing and would never get it again...well not at 7 buck a pop. I only drank hald to begin with. I then swung ove to Joels place to watch the NFL drafta nd see who the Steelers took...I TE from VA just in case you are wondering. Left there early to come home and get ready for the race tomorrow. I carb loaded and went to bed fairly early.

Great day...got good news from my MD...BP, weight, Cholestrol and lowered since Nov. I took the day off b/c I am still having problems with tender shin splints. I am getting nervous about this run on Sun I hope I can perform or finish :( Well this is no time to get injured a few weeks away from my 1st tri. I went to look for a bike rack that fits my car...apparently I can't use my only rood rack and carrier. Subaru makes one specifically for the car...there goes another 170 bucks. I did look at some cannodales at the LBS adn also found out that they do 25/35 mile rides every Sat. I was so excited. I am looking forward to the rides.

Swim
  • 36m 18s
  • 1200.00 yards
  • 03m 01s /100 yards

I had one of the best swims ever. I didn't stop at any time. i just kept swimming. Wow was that a great work out. I switched back and forth between breast and freestyle. The 1st 100 was all freestyle. I feel fast in the fresstyle and i am pacing myself and actually going faster than floundering.

Overall awesome wokout

Day 3 of my paid 2 weeks vacation (notice). I got so much done it was amazing. I felt that I actually made some head way today and crossed alot off of my to-do list. I finally changed both MTB tires for the race. Took alot longer than I like but oh well. It looks funny having slick on a MTB but until I can scrounge up some cash this is my best next option. I have a MDs appointment tomorrow. I hope its a good one:)

April 19

Run
  • 33m 53s
  • 3.00 miles
  • 11m 17s /Mi

Horrible, horrible run. I was super tight even after stretching. I felt tired. I started chafing due to the new short I was trying out. It was painful for me even to keep going but I did finish.
Wow, did that run suck.
I am going to take it easy regroup focus on the swim and bike this week and really prepare myself for the 10K on Sun....maybe a light brick later this week to get my wheels back.

Well the morning started horribly with the run but then got really good. I bought a new ...err used car today. In my price range and at a hell of a price. Subaru Forester to haul all my Tri and AR gear shit around in...the best part is the AWD. After this winter, I was ready for it. I really did a number on the chaffe. I neosporned it and I hope it will be good enough for Sun...10K

Swim
  • 30m
  • 900.00 yards
  • 03m 19s /100 yards

I didn't feel real energized but i kept pushing myself to keep going.

I got a lot done today and spent alot of time outside enjoying the nice weather. It nice having sometime off to relax and enjoy the world the way its meant to be...not behind a cubicle...haha The swim was ok...still frustrating but I kept on going...I can feel that i am getting faster and better. Now only if I could continue freestyle the whole time. :( Baby steps...this time 3 months ago i was lucky to get across the pool twice without takeing a break
