1 mile swim

I seem to go through periods when I find it difficult to feel spiritual on Sundays. I know that this may sound counter intuitive to many of you but in an attempt to remedy that I went to the pool.

Did the first three miles really slowly because they were playing the original Rocky in the cinema room and I wanted to watch one of my favorite film make out scenes ... so I just puttered along at a slow pace so that I could concentrate on the making out'ness!!! ;) Then I went into the main gym and begin to increase the speed each mile. That wasn't nearly as fun ... but the cinema room was blasted hot today. Dang!

Was going to swim but was just too tired.

Not really sure how I should translate mountain biking miles into cross training miles. I'll need to figure out a better way of doing this because I definitely have to work harder than I do on the upright bikes at the gym or on a road bike.

Anyway ...

Roughly 10 MTB miles on my new bike -- which I love!

This was my first time riding in clips ... wow!! I took three spills but only one of them drew blood. :) The spills were as follows: once trying to jump a log and twice during a super steep but short ascent (when I failed to down shift enough). With my feet clipped in I would be sliding back before I could get them loose ... then WHAM ... on the ground! (Ry was a saint not to laugh ... seeing I have been talking trash.) I kept giving it a go until I figured out what in the world I was doing. I have *a lot* of work ahead of me before the XTERRA. But other than the bitter cold ... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!! :) :) :)

Christmas Tri with Annie and Rylee!!!!! :) :) :) Annie and I did the Olympic distance, Rylee did her own version of a sprint. :) :) :)

We did everything in the correct order today, but used the spin bikes instead of the uprights. Since the spin bikes don't keep track of mileage we decided to go for time 1:15:00. The problem with this is that I am certain that I did not push as hard as I would have if I were going for mileage. Oh well ... still SUPER fun!!!

1.5K swim: 34:xx

Spin bike: 1:15:xx

10K run: 48:32

My transitions were slow ... but I was having a ton of fun!!!! :) :) :)

Thank you again Annie and Rylee!!!!! :) :) :) 

Hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!! :) :) :)
