July 29 - August 3, 2007 Getting ready

What a week! This week I spent trembling at the thought that I had a sprint distance triathlon on Saturday, August 4th in Louisville. Training is back on as usual!

Monday we went cycling, and I'm getting a little bit better. I'm well aware that cycling is not my sport! Not to mention that our rides are one big mile-long circle. Scenery is non existant! So, as you can imagine, I'm ready to see some new training ground. My coach said I'm too stretched out on my bike, so back to the bike shop I go for some more adjustments!

Tuesday and Thursday we were at the pool. Any day at the pool is a good day, as far as I'm concerned. I was shocked when our coach told me my time on the half-mile swim. I did it in 18.5 minutes! It felt great. When I signed up for the triathlon, I was fully expecting the one mile swim to take around an hour to finish. It looks like I should be able to finish in about 40 minutes!
Wednesday I took my bike back to the shop and spent about an hour getting the positioning correct. Turns out that the handlebars were a little too far away! That explained the pain between my shoulderblades.

Friday, we're off to Louisville! Hopefully I'm ready to put the three sports together. I can't believe I'm doing this!
