This post is a little late but I went out of town for work and then on vacation in Costa Rica so give me a break. I finished the swim leg in a respectable 00:34:14 which is better than I expected. Participating in the triathlon has definitely grabbed my interest. I look forward to start training for a Sprint Triathlon the next time around. I just need to get a bike now.
Six more days to go.
I went running today and it felt great! No pain in my knees or hips after running 3 miles so I think I’m fully recuperated from my last injury. I really need to go buy a new pair of shoes though. I clocked an 8 minute mile which I’m pretty happy about but I doubt I could keep that pace up for anything longer than a 5K.
I often wonder how much of my running training transfers over to my swimming. My endurance is the big issue and as I swim longer distances my form begins to fall apart typically.
So I’m in the process of training for a triathlon… actually make that part of a triathlon. I’m doing the triathlon with two of my buddies and I get to do the swimming portion. I’ll post more about my experiences as I go along and it gets closer to the date.
Update: It’s the Chicago Triathlon which is August 26th.
