Did the Heatwave Classic Triathlon (Swim 1/2 miles, bike 24.5 miles, run 10K), last weekend. It was great. My time was slow, 3:38:40, but I was glad I finished. I finally found out that my bike needs an overhaul, or I need a new one. I'm going to stick with the overhaul, until next season. My bike is a 9 speed, which explains why I was being passed up by everyone, even mountain bikes. I'm going to get my drivetrain upgraded.

I will definitely be participating, next year.

Completed my first triathlon (Soak up the Sun) of the season, this weekend. Had a great time, and got to test myself before the big triathlon started rolling in. I have to remember to unclip both shoes at the dismount area. WOW! The area was great, and I will definitely be competing next year.

I ran my best 5K in a long time, at the "Gimme Shelter 5k". My time was 35:21. I was a little sore from weight training during the week. My next running event is this Saturday. I'll be running in the MS 50 Trail Run (50K--31.25 miles). I'm looking forward to it.

I finally got my strength training workout plan from my trainer, which includes a 2 week diet plan (mainly of what's off limits) and it's major. I am really excited about seeing the results, because I'm going to stick to the plan. I'll put it into action on Monday, 2/8; got a Super Bowl Party that I'm going to enjoy. Go Saints! Who Dat!

Great Workout, Today...

Had a great workout, today. My goal is to run 7 minute miles, easily, by April. I worked on sprinting quarter miles at 7.5 mph-this was my top speed, close to the end of the work out. I started at 5.5 for warmup, then moved between 6.5-7.5. It was great. My cardio is good; just got train my legs to move faster.
