Brand new shiny slicks and a new saddle have made a big difference in my biking! Took it out for a 2 hour ride over the weekend and it was awesome. I still went slowly and didn't hit 25 miles which makes me worry about how long it will actually take me to do the bike portion of the race, but at least I covered more ground than normal. I can't invest in a new road bike right now so I had to convert my mountain bike the best I could. $90 bucks later, I have a smoother ride, but it's still not fast. Well, I'm not trying to break any records here, just finish the race. So I'll go with what I've got.
My pool is closed. I had hit 1250 yards when I was back in Michigan, but I only got in one swim workout last week and it was not good. I was so tired. Got 30ish lengths in and had to stop. Skipped the swim workout on the 4th because I was doing 4th of july things! And now my pool has a busted pipe so it won't be fixed until next Monday. Which means my next swim workout is going to be in open water after over a week of not swimming. More like almost 2 weeks! I'm going to a swim clinic in Lake Michigan on saturday morning so I hope I don't drown. It'll be the first time attempting open water. I'd better get used to it.
The running has come back. Kind of. I got out for a 45 minute run and it was awesome! Tight right knee but not bad pain. I had acupuncture during the weekend and I think it might have helped. The acupuncturist put two needles in my left arm near my elbow to help with my right knee. Definitely less pain. But the run last night lasted maybe 25 minutes and I had to stop because of pain. DAMN RUNNER'S KNEE!
Tri club meeting tonight at Goose Island. Hopefully i'll start meeting more Tri-ers! I need some more tri friends!
