Tri Training

I am currently training with Emily for a mini-triathlon. Actually, it's a women's only tri... which doesn't sound like me at all... I don't think it's real, unless it's the man version, but I am doing it, and we've been training for a few weeks now. I stink at the swim, but it's only 6 down and backs. I have heard 10 laps in 10 minutes is good, and right now I am doing 6 laps in 7:30, which is awful and it looks terrible, but I am getting them done. I also have never "spinned" "spun" whatever "rode a spin bike" until a couple of weeks ago, and one lady told me to try to keep it between 25 and 27 the whole time, so that is what I try to do. I can get the 8 miles knocked out in under 20... The run, I am trying to get to 14, right now it's at 14:45. So, altogether, with transitions, my time has been right above 45. Finally, today, I got it at 44:49. We still have a few months to train, and training for it has gotten me out of my treadmill, step-mill rut, so that's nice. Yesterday I did 3 miles in stairs and then ran hills for 7 miles. I am in good physical shape, but still have a little pouch, especially after I eat. And, I have been eating ALOT, and alot of junk lately. I am up to 121-122ish, but have been eating whatever I want. I have to buckle down and get these last 10 pounds off!

Where is this mini-triathalon? Let me know if you hear of any near my neighborhood. I would love to try that.

I'm proud of you! Good work!
