3 Good Things
1) I just could not have followed my race plan much better than I did
2&3) It was great to meet so many new BTers. I am not even going to try to list them because I do not want to forget someone. It was nice to finally put a face with the people that I have developed seedy internet relationships with. :) Like Jeff(tri4funjeff). :) Of course, It is always great to see the Bters that I had previously met.

Swim

OWS at race site. Was just a guess on distance and time. The water was pretty choppy with the increased winds this afternoon. It should be more calm tomorrow. I am glad I did it. It has been awhile since my last OWS and this way there should not be any surprises.

3 Good Things
1) Got to do an OWS at the race site
2) Got to meet some new BTers: Ashley(*):), John(jcagg90)
3) Got to watch BT buds race today. Especially Kenny(Ten9T6) who did his first Tri.

April 18

Swim
  • 49m 24s
  • 2560.00 meters
  • 01m 55s /100 meters

Swam in the outdoor pool at LTF. Water temp was 66 degrees. My wetsuit hardly lets any water in. I just love swimming in it. I upped the CAD to 50 for this swim. My first 1500 meters was actually 13 secs slower than my swim with a CAD of 48. So I guess I will go with the CAD of 48 for the Playtri Oly. After the intitial 1500 meters, I practiced sighting for the rest of the swim. The wetsuit sure makes it easier to sight.

3 Good Things
1) Only had to work in the morning. We have a big Optometry Convention at the Gaylord Texan Wed-Sun.
2) Attended a practice management seminar at the convention. Got some new ideas on how to over charge. JUST KIDDING :)
3) Got my swim pace firmed up for the race on Sun.

April 17

3 Good Things
1) My office manager called in sick today. Everyone else picked up the slack and things ran smoothly.
2) I was helping Caly with her letters. She is making good progress learning and writing them.
3) Camille fell asleep without having to put her down multiple times.

April 16

Strength
  • 1h 00m

Full body workout with Gail

3 Good Things
1) I love reading the IMAZ race reports. There is nothing better to get you motivated to try an Ironman.
2) Took Caly with me to run errands.
3) I am using a retainer to straighten some of my lower teeth. They had been kind of stubborn, but they are starting to move.
