Well my summer vacation has officially started and it feels great! It is amazing how much more inviting my training is when I don't have to put in a full day at work also. So I went to my Open Water Swim on Saturday and it was tough. My times were slow...really slow on the one mile. I was dehydrated, jet lagged, slightly hung over, exhausted before I began the swim so I guess I feel good about the fact that I could swim 3 miles in that condition. It felt like a good cleanse and a kick in the ass to get my training for the summer underway. Idid that on Saturday and then Sunday I did 75 miles on the bike. Today I plan to run for 20 minutes with walking thrown in. It is the beginning now of trying to run after 3 months off.
I am going to get a training plan from my coach. Preben has been my coach for the entire time I have been involved in triathlon. He is the coach for the Women's Traithlon Club. He has a great approach and truly knows his stuff. He doesn't like to get talked about much but I plan to devote at least one post to talking about why he is such a great coach.
A few of the other ladies in the club kicked off their season by going down to Ranch Seco and participating in the traithlons there over the weekend. I haven't had a chance to check their results but I hear they did very well (of course). Not to brag but we do tend to dominate any local events we go to (why Preben is such a good coach)!
My next post will be from up in the mountains as soon as I get my new lap top going so... Hey, and somebody should make a comment so I know you are out there plus then I might know what you want to hear about. Until then......
