"Triathlon Day"

Up at dawns crack and out the door.  First a nice little 30 km ride in perfect temperatures and practically no wind.  Then off the bike for a jog around the block...7 kms and a bit.  Then a road trip to London to purchase a new heart rate monitor,

ain't it pretty,

back home for leftover spaghetti, and then off to the pool to see if I would be able to float any better.  Lastly, a 5 minute weight room instruction from old Roo, and I pretty well have my strength training plan in place.

Yes....I will clean it up and put it in a nice spread sheet.

The bike ride was great! (really great)!  The run a little tough but I survived (worrying about my achilles again).  The swim was just a bit discouraging ( got my hopes up too quickly). The weights a reminder of the part I don't like (but Im gonna do it anyway).

The whole day was a forewarning of just how tough it will be to do an Ironman, but it also somehow reminded me that I can do it....patience, patience, patience....and consistency and discipline, and confidence, and hard work.

Roo and I capped off the day with dinner for two at Braxtons....no kids, no grandchildren.

Bike.....60 mins
Run......40 mins
Swim...40 mins
