I actually made some progress this week on the training front. I ran 3 times, biked twice and swam twice. The bike is pretty ugly right now. No power, no speed and no tolerance for the wind. The swim was interesting to say the least. First day back in the water was slow. During my training cycle for Florida my base pase per 100 meters was around 1:35, first day back the base pace was around 1:44. I blamed the slow swim time on all the hair I grew back on my arms and legs so I promptly shaved as soon as I got back home and the next day in the pool was much better :)... (yeah right)
Yes, I have a lot of work to do to get back in tri shape. I'm having fun and hoping to get back in touch with the old seabiscuit gang so we can train together. I enjoy training with these guys and listening to all the BS during the long bike rides.
Like to take this opportunity to brag on my wife and kids. Jennifer placed 4th in the Believe 10k in downtown Mckinney and Ben & Reed, ages 7 and 4, both ran the 1 mile fun run and ran the whole thing!!! I was real proud of all of them and hoping I have some future triathletes in Ben and Reed.
For this week, I'm hoping to bike 3 times, swim 2 times and run 3 times. No hard time goals or distances just look for consistency at this stage and getting in some solid base work.
I hope everyone had a great thanksgiving...
