my own tri

woke up saturday at 5am...slipped out the door at quarter to 6 and was swimming in barton springs just after 6am...there were two other swimmers there so i took the middle and was able to swim with out too much sighting...other than some goggle issues on my first length...i had a great great swim...and thanks to elizabeth for telling me about the rain coming in sunday morning...i was planning to swim then but decided to do it saturday...barton spring some times closes during the rain...

then it was off to meet the group for a 45 mile ride...met at lost creek and 360 road north to parmer and headed out parmer for a bit...then back...i had a great ride...felt very strong...and was kind of mad that i hit almost every light on the way out parmer...i would get going then hit a light...argh...but still all in all a great ride...i pushed the hills on 360 on the way back....i have never felt stronger on those hills...

we are on week 2 of our vineman training plan...we had a 20 minute brick off the bike...so down lost creek blvd i went...my feet felt really numb for the first 5 minutes of the run...this is pretty typical...not sure what the deal is with that....but after a short time i have my feet back and the running was great...felt strong and quick...like i had picked up the pace on the way back in...

really quite happy with that workout...felling no pain in the knees/hips...was really amazing...

the rest of the day was spent doing homework...but that was good too...j was doing lots of stuff around the house...throwing some pots...cutting the grass etc...having a good weekend too...it is very nice to have him home...
