Training Update 5/16/06

Well, the new coach didn't work out. It was too expensive, so I went ahead and bought a training plan from Training Peaks written by Gale Bernhardt. It's a 6 week crash plan for Olympic distance triathlon. The St. Peters Tri isn't quite Olympic distance, but almost. It is quite a jump up in intensity, but I'm doing well so far. I have lost 7 lbs since the duathlon, purely by cutting out sweets and training harder.
Yesterday, I joined a group ride on an asphalt trail. It was fun. We went 13 miles, and I was given pointers about gearing that I desparately needed! Hoping my bike leg will be nice and fast this time. Right after the ride, we ran 2 miles. Better pump that up to 5 soon!!!
Today I swam 1450 meters. It felt great...really love to swim. :)
Still WAITING for pictures of the Race for Sight.
