The activity I've been posting about thus far in this virtual training blog was leading me up to the Chicago Accenture Triathlon. After having registered for the race almost a year ago, once the day was here it came and went on Sunday so quickly! Here's a little bit more about how race day went if you are interested.
I've been taking it easy the last couple days. But I wanted to report the activeness that took place on Sunday. I've found that I really enjoy open water swimming and would like to keep at until the weather gets too cold. And in the post-race depression of not having an event to train for anymore I found a triathlon in Lake Geneva in about two weeks... we'll see.

Yesterday my activity consisted of an hour of intermediate 4's beach volleyball at Montrose. Our team lost this week and are still hovering around .500. Hopefully we pick it up going into the end of the seasion/play offs. If our level of play was half as much as our competitive spirit we'd be in good shape.
After that I practiced my tri transitions a little bit with Santiago.
Aaaand that's it. My posts are becoming increasingly lame... I promise some fun pictures from the tri on Sunday, though. But here is an aerial view of Montrose Beach to leave you with--the volleyball courts are on the bottom, right part of the beach. Luckily the rain today held off until after our match. The rain is getting ridiculous here... 10 out of 14 days or something and a tornado touched down tonight.
