I realize I have been negligent in posting entries. I got side tracked by some serious family issues. Normally no matter how bad things get my training has come first. Not because I am such a great athlete but because it is my best stress reliever. So I am very gald to be back at it.
Well June will be here soon and the more serious training will begin to be ready for worlds. I have chosen these days to ride my bike alone for the most part to avoid aggravating my injuries. It has been going well and I have been pleasantly surprised that my riding is still going pretty well. My swim training has been great and it is the one thing I am feeling very confident about. I have barely run at all for three months and that is the part that has me worried. But I will keep building up slowly and do the best I can.
The Womens Tri Club had a great trip to Mt. Lassen yesterday (Memorial Day). We were able to ride up over the summit and down the other side a bit till we hit the wall of snow. It was a beautiful day and we all had a lot of fun. It was great to see some of the newer women to the group out on this ride. I know everyone had a great sense of accomplishment.
Looks like now we will be moving into some of the early races and right now I am on a relay team for Pacific Crest which is at the end of June in Bend Oregon. Pacific Crest is a great endurance weekend with lots of events to get involved in. We have been going up there as team for the last few years competing in the half iron man distance, the olympic distance, and the duathlon. I have done the half iron man there 3 times and really enjoyed it. So I am very happy to get to do the swim for a relay team made up of me, Kim Agur (bike), and Reene Fiack (run). The bike ride for the half ironman is over Mt. Bachelor...it is truly one of the most beautiful venues for triathlon. Till next time......
