T-minus three weeks...

The Pirate Tri is less than 3 weeks away now, and I am on the last two weeks of the big push to train. On Monday, I went to yoga and then swam for a half hour, Sunday I had gone on a long, 35-mile bike ride (further than I had ever gone!), and today, I met Cathy and we swam the course for the tri and then biked the bike course. Tomorrow, I have to do a bike/run brick. I am tired!! Today when I was biking, I kept thinking, "Why do I do this? Why do I do this to myself?" But then, when I am done, I KNOW why I do it...I feel so great after a workout, that keeps me going to the next. I am a little nervous now about the tri, the bike course was TOUGH, way more hills than the Tri for a Cure course, but to make up for it, the swim is going to be beautiful! Clear and calm, fresh water, that felt great today. Then, to top it off, I got home and the wetsuit I ordered was here. I tried it on and went into the pool, it fit well. Yay!

I do feel a little guilty at times, dropping Madelyn off at daycare so I can go work out, but when this is over, we will have many days to hang out together. I am doing this for myself, my well-being, which only benefits the girls.
