I really don't have to much to report but I have a few random things to throw out there so here are my odds and ends.
- I bought a wetsuit, I took the plunge and went to the local bike/Tri shop, tried on a few suits and plunked down my cash on this little beauty of a suit. Sort of a mid range suit which is what I was looking for, a bit hard to spend the cash on it but my dreams of swimming in shrink, freeze and fall off cold water without a wetsuit have now ceased.
- I have been having some what I would call minor mid back muscle tightness late in longer rides and after intense rides, I am wondering about this. I posted a question on the message boards here hoping for some feedback. I am not sure if this is just something I need to work through or if I should look into tweaking my bike fit.
- My FIRST (Furman Institute of Running Science and Technology) half marathon training started this week. I need to add here that I am a bit leery of some of the repeats. Monday I only completed about half of what was called for as I feel like jumping in with both feet might lead to an injury. So I am going to take the interval stuff slow. I have a nice three mile tempo today, looking forward to it believe it or not.
- The 70.3 is four weeks away, I am feeling ready, I have a rough race strategy in my mind and I really can't wait for it to get here. After that I am all about Sprints, Oly's and having a really awesome summer or racing.
- I finally feel like I am not TERRIBLE on the bike, I still have a way to go but I actually feel like I am finally getting into my cozy place called average.
- Oh and I need to get to work!
Have a great rest of the week everyone, thanks for your recent comments and reading.
Gotta love the hump day ... although it felt like friday today ... ****.
I don't know what to tell you about the back pain, but let us know what you find out!
You are rockin' and will be ready for that race ... only 4 weeks, wahoo!
