Introduce the Wetsuit

One mile swim today in the open water. And by open water I mean the FRIGID open water.  Many thanks to Mark of Team MMS who opened his lake house for us to go out and get some open water time in.  After this, I feel very good about the swim portion of Rockeman Florida!

Time to Refocus

What should have been a couple of the strongest training weeks have dwindled into almost nothing. Sickness and home repairs knocked training down to the bottom of my priority list. Not good when my first 70.3 is only 31 days away. Here is my plan to get started again: Tomorrow, I'm running at 5:00am. I'm going to run for 45 minutes, then swim 2000 yards at 6:00am. I'm rested, so I should be able to do both of those. Saturday will be a two hour bike ride with a 20 minute brick run. Sunday is an open water swim with Team MMS. Going forward I have to focus on improving my running, and maintaining my bike and swim abilities. I also have to do a brick run after every bike ride. Even with the setbacks, I'm still confident in finishing. It is going to be a great day, and I'll wear my medal with pride!
