Day 20 - Yikes!

Hey team.
Wow, that was likely the biggest lull in blogging. My apologies. It's been a busy week.

Updates - last Monday I had my first bout with recreational soccer. Insane. A totally different kind of workout, and boy did it work me out. No major pain to speak of, though, which is good. Gotta keep the knees in good shape.

I'm still in biking limbo, and that has to end quick. I'm off to Lori's tonight to get the special tool that will help me get her clipless pedals off and my regular pedals on, though I may buy some clip pedals (the ones with little baskets) to get the advantage of at least some of the pull motion on the bike leg.

Lori and I swam on Sunday out at Seward Park. A great break from the 94 degree heat we're having here. I'm growing more and more comfortable with this leg, so now it's just hoping I can maintain composure with all that kicking in the face. That, and hoping the milfoil isn't so intense.

Run - I haven't in a while. I figure tonight's soccer practice will be good run time, but then the next 2 1/2 weeks, I'm really working towards putting all the pieces together.

I'm excited, and nervous. I'm doing a lot of visualization, and watching other people's races on YouTube, so there are minimal surprises. I finally have the outfit down - tri shorts, sports bra and workout tank. I swam with it, and there's no major drag, though the shirt doesn't dry as fast as the shorts.

I plan to do a mini-race demo on the 7th or 8th. This weekend, Seward Park will be inundated with SeaFair, so I'll have to work around that.

I'll try to be better about the blogging in these last three weeks. Thanks for reading!
