First off my apologies - It’s been way too long since I've updated this blog – work and life have kept me away from my PC. So today’s entry will be a combo of FotoFriday and a quick update on my tri training.
FotoFriday: This pic is one of my favorite places in the world to visit: Switzerland. Specifically it’s a pic of some of the mountains in northeast Switzerland in a area called Appenzell. Yup, the sky really is that clear, the grass really is that green, and yes, if the pic had audio you’d hear cowbells ringing. Enjoy!
The meat and potatoes: I have my first official Tri this weekend – Heritage Park. Ok, so it’s really a Du (run, bike, run) but hey, its outside and there will be a lot of people wearing spandex coming out of a really grungy lake and hopping on bikes. So why a du rather than a tri? The lake.. The lake where the swim portion of the tri takes place is known jokingly as Goose Poop Lake. Jene', my tri coach, puked there last year because the water was so nasty – she’s one tough chick, so if she’s puking, you know it’s horrible. As a compromise, I'm doing the du – 2 mile run, 11.5 mile bike, and 3 mile run. I'm really looking forward to this one. I've ridden the course and it looks really nice – some hills, but very doable. The run course looks fairly flat on the map (but maps can be deceptive). I’ve also got quite a cheering section: Christy, April, Cooper and Stacie will all be in attendance. Say your prayers and keep your fingers crossed for me! I’ll post the details next week.
