Monday night was so much fun! When Dave and I got home from work we immediately hopped on our bikes and set off on my first official ride. I was a little bit nervous at first. I still can't get over the idea of riding on a tire that is only an inch thick and I hate that you can feel every bump and crack in the pavement. What I love about the new bike is how light I feel. I feel like I can go so much faster with much less effort..... I love my new bike.
We biked about 10km and then headed home to get ready to swim. As I had mentioned earlier, both of my parents are also doing the triathlon. They have made it quite clear that they are very nervous about the swim portion and my mom asked if Dave and I would teach them a few tricks in the pool. I used to be a swim instructor so I knew it would be a lot of fun.
When we got to the pool my mom was a little bit nervous. She was so cute in her swim cap and goggles and both her and my dad were willing to work really hard. We did 200m kick to warm up and then went on to some stroke improvement. After a few tips for my parents I wanted them to do the full 350m just to see what the distance feels like. They ended up doing really well!
Yesterday was my medium run day. I have to admit that I was not in to it at first. I am so tired this week and I just wanted to eat dinner and hang out. So I put on my shoes and set off on my way. I ended up running at more of a jogging pace but I did about 3.5km in 22 minutes.... which I guess is ok. I just want to be able to do my 4.5km run on race day in under 30minutes.....
So today Dave and I are going for a swim and we will be going to his road running race as well. Maybe if I feel good I will sneak in a short run. We'll see!
Talk to you soon
