Triathalon Update
This morning I swam the full length of the race (a half-mile), all freestyle, in 35 minutes. I had to rest after every other lap, but I'm still proud that I did the race distance in the allotted time and didn't do breast or backstroke laps.
And as I walked into the club at 5:30 this morning, all I could think when I saw other workouts happening was, "Look! Other crazy people!"
Also, the course for the race got moved. The new course is shorter. I'm not actually happy about that, as the shortages are in the ride and the run, which I can already do.. The only thing I really would have felt any relief about was a slightly shorter swim. The funny thing is that when I tell people about the change, everyone assumes that I'm pleased. But neither of the other friends I'm doing the race with are happy about it. We all feel like our big challenge got a little whimpier.
