Went to Echo Reservoir to check out the tri course today. Tested out my rented wet suit in an open water swim of 16 mins out and back. It was pretty cool! I probably could have gone with the medium large but when I tried it on it felt like there was no way I could zip that thing up. The water there is pretty murky and as I swim I imagine suddenly seeing some beast creature come up from below. When I see the plants it freaks me out. Good swim though otherwise. I then hopped on my bike and rode the course. It's kind of beastly. It's a bit of up and down for 4 miles and then you pretty much just climb for another 8 up I-80. By that time you have forgotten the beginning (which is also the end) and think that it's just a decent to the transition area. Wrong. There are 2 beastly hills on the home stretch. Very rude if you ask me ;) I then ran one mile and realized that the run for this Saturday is going to be rather difficult but it should be fun. Good workout. |
