It's Been A While...

Ok, so the last time I wrote, I was just dealing with my neighbor.  Well, it's been busy since then.  This past weekend I participated in my first Olympic distance triathlon.  It took me 3 hours and 55 minutes to swim, bike and run.  I did terribly on the run because it was trail and too narrow and crowded.  I barely ran it because I fell and scraped my knee pretty badly.  I was on a 15:27/mile pace. I KNOW I can do 12/mile at least.  The bike was good.  I have some things to fix on my bike, like my chain that fell off twice while I was downshifting, and my computer. My computer didn't work, so I didn't know I was going SO SLOW (14mph)  I know I can get my bike to 20 mph, I have done it on my trainer many times.  I rocked the swim coming in 200th out of 1500 (24 minutes for 0.9 miles. I took it slow since I knew I stll had to bike and run.) I was happy with it though.  Overall, the tri was good and it taught me what I need to work on (THE RUN!!!)  I am signing up for two or three more Triathlons and then the IRONMAN.  I hope I can do it!!
    Training's been going well, I did about 13 hours last week.  This week and next week,  unfortunately, won't be conducive for training since I have my friends' wedding and my twin's wedding coming up! I will try my best though!  Until next time...
