Getting down to business


It was finally nice enough to take the girls for a run outside. As you can see, Ellie fell asleep. Emma and I filled the time talking about all the bikers that were out.

Now onto business.....

I met with a Triathlon coach on Friday and decided that it was something I needed. So, he is now writing my personalized workouts for each day! I feel much better using someone that I can talk to rather than a book (which was what I was using before). I am also now part of a Masters Swim Team! I never thought I would say that! I will be swimming with about 20 other people Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 6am-7am! At least this will keep me honest with my swimming. Sometime next week I am getting a V02 max test done at the University of St. Thomas. This tests your max heart rate. I am really excited to do this. I am also getting swim, bike and run video analysis. I should tell the coach right now that my swim stroke is not going to change no matter what I do! If coaches could not change it when I was swimming competitively, there is no way it is changing now. The coach also had me sign up for some triathlons for the summer (why did I pick such an expensive sport?!?!?). It is as follows.

1. Apple Duathlon - May 24th (I am debating whether to do this because it is my 5 year wedding anniversary that day)
2. Buffalo MN Olympic Distance Triathlon - June 1st
3. Lake Waconia - June 29th
4. Racine Half Ironman - July 20th
5. Oshkosh - August 10th (I am doing Oshkosh because that weekend was a planned family weekend at the cabin of my brother in laws mother)

6. WISCONSIN IRONMAN - SEPTEMBER 7TH
