Three Weeks

Well, three weeks from today is my first race.  I don't think I am ready, but I think that I will be.  This past week was tough, picked up too many overtime hours which limited the amount of training that I even felt like doing.  I don't have any more overtime between now and then and I think its probably for the best.

Went out for a bike today.  Thanks to the rain and the late hours it was my first ride off the trainer in a little more than a week.  The good news is that the trainer has made me stronger and the bike was easier.  I did 12 miles in about the same time, but felt better while doing it.  Also, I am pretty certain I won't have any problems doing the bike after the swim, the run, however, has me a bit worried.  I am stretching and rolling my feet and calves as much as possible, but I don't know that it will be enough.  Going to take it easy, and worse comes to worst, its only three miles, and I'm sure I can tough it out.  The good news is that I am getting better at not looking like an idiot when I try to run coming off the bike.  I tried explaining this phenomenon to my parents and my dad wasn't buying it until he actually tried it.  I talked to him yesterday and he told me the story of nearly falling over trying to jog after biking 6 miles! :)

Considering going down to Bridgeport today to take a look at the course, get a feel for any hills, etc etc.  Maybe I'll even go for a bit of a run while I'm down there, depends on how my feet feel.  For now, some core work, a shower, breakfast and a softball game.  Should be a good Sunday, going to enjoy every minute of it :)
