Laughing and Training

I know I say this everytime I blog, but Justtrime and Trime are 2 of the greatest women alive. I just love them. How funny is the blog from Justtrime. Yet at the end you will see she said "see you at the pool". HMMMMM! Will she be swimming??!! Trime got a new bike, tires don't come off. Apparently they are glued on. Something Professionals do because they have bike crews(I don't know if that is true) or they just don't finish the race. But for ADD racers like myself, we buy tires that come off so if we get a flat we can finish the race. So, as you all have been guessing both my teammates are OCD Triathletes. But I love them anyway!!!!!

As for me, I got 2 (yes 2) coaches for my swim. I am swimming 4 days a week and have been feeling more chlorinated thatn I have ever felt in my life. Mind you this is my 1st week back swimming. I did not ask for the coaches they have just graciously volunteered to help. I apparently "swim flat", don't reach far enough, and kick like "sh-t". Words of constructive critisism from my coaches. So now most of my swim workouts consist of a warm-up (never knew there was one in swiming), a heart rate set (raising my heart rate till it feels like popping out of my chest) then drills, and a cool down (once again never knew, but this is my favorite part of the workouts). I am not a very efficient swimmer. I don't have to be fast, just more efficient to beat the previous 1.2 mile swim I did in GA. hence the drills. Of course, all of this together is helping me build confidence and endurance in the water. I will let you know at the end of the month when I do my long swim and compare it to the one I did at the begining of this week. I hope to be more efficient, faster, and less tired at the end.

We are doing a 2 hour 30 min ridie on Sunday. If any of you should see 2 women walking, one with a flat tire on her high speed low drag bike, pick us up. She can't change her tire and I won't leave her out there!

Laughing and loving all the crazy things we do!!!!!
