Open Water Swim 0.5mi
Road Bike 12mi
Pavement Run 3mi

tri summer II.

hah. funny reading my last post.

i feel OK with where i'm at right now. I did the Schaumburg and Glenview triathlons this summer and just did the Danskin one in Wisconsin today -- my first sprint in open water. Chicago sprint tri is next weekend.

this summer has been mediocre. began strong with a half marathon in May, but i dislocated a bone in my foot which put me out in a boot for a month and a half. and then with boards, vacations and starting my new job as a PA, i got a really late start and never really got my momentum going. so i've just been a weekend warrior triathlete. which is going better than expected for just being a weekend warrior.... but still not where i want to be.

the goal is olympic tri next summer.
also, i'd like to get comfortable and in-shape enough with cycling that i can ride with the oak park cycle club. they cycle at 5:30am which is perfect for me before work.

we'll see how next weekend goes -- my last hoorah this tri season.

ps. i have to say, wetsuit = best invention ever.
