Word for the day is "lazy." I was up at 0530 to feed Paul, but then I went back to bed at 0600! Aargh. I figured by then it was too late to get a lane at the pool, so why bother. Of course, I could have just lifted in the morning then swam at lunch, but I wasn't thinking clearly. That's another problem. I can't get to bed until 1100pm or so. And then at lunch...yeah, I went home to have lunch with Tera and Paul.
I was about to blow off evening PT, too, but when I got home, Tera and Paul weren't home yet, so I thought I might as well go to the gym. I got in my basic lifting routine, but was done at 5:35, with 25 minutes left til lap swim. I didn't feel like waiting around, and I went home.
Tomorrow should be a better day. I'm hoping to do my first run with Paul in his new ride (jogging cart). I'm excited about it. I also want to get in a bike of some sort. If it's nice enough, which isn't looking probable by the forecast, I want to do the Terry Hill a few times.
I found a good course that is a good representation of the hill at the Portland Tri. It has the same stats of about 500ft vertical in 3 miles, so I want to hit that hill at least once a week after spring break.
The Pocatello Triathlon Club has put together a really early race on April 10 with Reed Gym of ISU the transition area. Swim 700 yards in the pool Friday night, then show up Saturday morning for the bike and run. I bike and run these courses all the time, and it's the pool I swim in. But I'm not sure I'll do it. I guess it would be a good start to the year. Maybe I'll just help. It's only $10 for tri club members. Also, the Pocatello Tri Club website is back up and running, so now I can put in my membership form.
This week is not off to a good start. I need to get off my lazy butt!
I'm a family guy who is addicted to swim/bike/run and anything to do with getting out into the backcountry wilderness areas. This blog focuses on the swim, bike, run and other various aspects of my attempts to finish in the top ten percent of my age group in whatever race I do. It used to be all about finishing the legs of an Olympic Distance triathlon: swim in 20 minutes, bike in 60 minutes, and run in 40 minutes. Now, it's more about training well and finishing well.
