Okay, I know this update is WAYYYY overdue.

Monday: Swimming with the Wetcats for 2500 yds and a 30 min run Monday afternoon.

Tuesday: 12.5 Miles on the bike

Wednesday: 4.6 Mile run

Thursday: 8.1 Miles on the bike

Friday: nada. nyet. zip. zero.

Saturday: Saturday morning was the run before the honored heroes breakfast. Together myself and team green covered just over 5 miles.

Sunday: I got lost on the way to the swim clinic, so I swam over at the crap pool at 24 fitness. Blech, it’s such a nasty pool. Also, put in 30 minutes on the bike that afternoon.

Total distance: 4100 yds Swum. 13.21 Miles Ran 27 Miles Biked.

Thought of the Week: The truth is, it’s difficult to find the daylight hours to get the time in. If a conference call starts early or something else comes up you miss the AM window to get stuff done before work.

Welcome to the first day of official training. This morning began with a 3000 yd swim at the Oak Point pool in Plano with coach Bob Solow and the Plano WetCats. Swimming is probably the least worrisome of the three sports in triathlon to me but all of my training and methods are about 15 years out of date. It’s amazing how much swimming has changed fundamentally.

If you are interested in general fitness swimming, improving your stroke, or even racing, you would do well to come to the pool and spend some time with Bob.

Up tonight, a quick 30 minute run around the neighborhood.

*UPDATE* Had my run. Boy is running fun. Way, way fun. Whee.

Tomorrow is all about finding time for a bike ride.

Daily total: Swam 3000 yds. Ran 3.5 miles
