Rain, Bike, Crash, Race, And Then Bike Some More

Well Saturday was an interesting day. Started off with some light rain for the morning ride that also included a crash in the first 10 miles!!! With that out of the way I was in the mood for putting the hammer down and rode a hard 50 miles in the rain before going to the Snapping Tortuga Aquathlon hosted by swim coach Tim Floyd. Despite a ridiculous time getting my wet suit off in transition ended up having a good swim and felt great on the run and ended up taking the overall win. Rounded out the day by hoping back on the bike and riding another 40 miles but this time not in the rain :-) so all in all a very successful day. Now to rest for an 18 mile run, 60 mile bike, and swim session with the Magnolia Masters club tomorrow.

First Pro-Swim Lession

Had my first swim lesson today with Tim Floyd and the Magnolia Masters Aquatic Club. Really looking forward to having him help me improve my stroke and swim times. Lots of work to do now that I can see my areas for improvement.

First Blog

So I never would have thought that I would be using a blog but figure I should give it a try as a way to just let everyone know what's going on in my triathlon world. Four weeks till 70.3 Galveston and lot of prep work still to be done. Had a solid aerobic fitness bike test today out in The Woodlands but could have done without the wind. Hoping on tomorrows long run I don't get soaked but hey I'll take that over wind any day. :-)

Excited to go work with Tim Floyd for the first time in the pool tomorrow. Swim definitely needs some work to be a contender at Galveston and IMTX. And just realized that the clocks jump forward tonight so need to get off to bed.
