So, I’m not committed to any tri yet, but have been feeling the drive to get ready for one. So, I’ve been trying to get multiple activities in lately. In the last week, I’ve added yoga and paddling to the mix.
Yesterday I started the week out right with a pre-work swim (500 free and 300 breast). Followed it up with a very warm 5 miler at lunch (thankfully, some of the humidity has blown away). Finished off with a near 2 mile walk with the fam before bed-time.
This weekend was the first in a long time to not be full of office work and/or travel. So, I took full advantage of it. Saturday am I spent a few hours safety boating for the Chesapeake Boathouse International triathlon. The 2 waves I got to watch/work were the elite Juniors girls and elite junior guys. I was extremely impressed with the competition which haled from all over the world, and probably includes a few future Olympians. They flew through the swim course on a very windy and choppy day. Between flights I was able to watch a few bike loops, and see all the girls get out on the run course. They were extremely good, and fun to watch. Definitely got me amped to get my tri on.
Worked around the house the rest of the day, and after the kiddos went down, hit the bike to chase the remaining minutes of light. Ended up getting in 13 miles in 45 minutes. Not the fastest, but I hit all sorts of graduation traffic, and haven’t been on the bike in months. Followed that up with a 2 miler with the pup. Slept well after that.
Today, did yard work all day, and just capped off the night with a 3.5 miler. Good start to the week.
