As most of you know Heidi and I are competing in the Texas Man Triathlon this September and we have been a little slow to start training but now we are fully dedicated to getting to the finish line. This is the same triathlon that I did last year and Heidi agreed to do it with me if I did it again so guess what…we are doing it.
The race consists of a 500m swim, then a 17 mile bike ride, followed by a 5k. This weekend to celebrate our independence we did the 500m swim and on Saturday we did a 16 mile ride. The swimming is tough just because we are not used to swimming but it is the one event that we are getting better at the fastest. Our goal for this week will be to swim another 500m but with a 300m nonstop swim. Within 2 weeks we should be able to knock out a 500m swim no problem. We did the bike ride 8 out and 8 back with only one break. We are getting stronger on the bike but just need to get used to riding (My body is no longer allowing me to take my bike on any sweet jumps anymore.) The run will be my nemesis much like it was last year but I think that Heidi will do really well; she knocked out a 3 mile run last night. I am still pushing out my first run for another day.
We will keep you posted on our training…both the good and bad. Hope everyone is well.
