July non TdF challenge (Page 14)

I did a yoga class at the beach yesterday - fun!  Today I have a run planned.  I'm debating whether or not to do a strength workout, since I have my race coming up on Sunday.  Maybe I could just do light weights or just stick to bodyweight exercises.

Ah yes. It's good to have goals. LOL

Hey, if I had one of those in my backyard, I'd be happy!

And I'm less likely to run around tasering people when I'm happy.

Unless, of course, people provide a REASON* for me to taser them.


* Reason = I want to taser them.

5k done today.

Mpfh. Nothing done today. I think I'm aiming for Slacker status. Bleh.

Ha..I wish!  It was a run.  I forgot I had a race today.  Swimming on Wednesday.

A 5K swim would be awesome! No way I could do it though.... That's a Longggggg distance.

Lol, I'm so bad at training for the swim (I do like to swim, but never do it), so I was thinking after my HIM, I might start training for this 5k ows race in September.  But it's mainly a no-wetsuit race, so that kind of scares me   I could choose to use a wetsuit, but then I'd feel like a wimp if no one else was wearing one!  We'll see - there's also a 2.5k option if I wanted, and that shouldn't be too bad since it's not too much longer than a HIM swim. 

I think BW exercises can be really difficult depending on what you do and how you do them!  Pull-ups, for example - I can barely do 1 without an assist!

Uh yeah... I just did my run and went home.  I totally forgot I was even considering lifting.  Oh well.  If I can't be lazy during taper week, when else will I get the chance?!  (Don't say after the race because then I'll use it as an excuse to be a slug next week )

x2!!!

You're not alone! ... I have my first no wetsuit race coming up in mid August (water temp will be over 84, so no wetsuits allowed at all).  The Philly Tri last month was going to be my first no-wetuit race and I was very anxious about it... then tragically someone died during the swim in the sprint race and the Olympic race was switched to a Duathlon.  So you can imagine my anxiety level now.  I did a race last year that was a non wetsuit race (but temp was <84, so they were allowed), but I wimped out and wore mine anyway.   Lots of disapproving looks and comments from lots of people.  As I sit here and type this, I have butterflies in my stomach just thinking about my no-wetsuit swim that's more than a month away.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ OWS NO WETSUIT ANXIETY TOPPAGE  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Long trainer ride this morning.  Long swim planned for lunch.  Motivation is a little low these days.  I need to get some big training weeks in!!!  I think a couple taser zapps to the keester might be in order. 

Oh... by the way... GOOD MORNING TEAM!

Its not so much failing to plan, its failing to implement the plan. 

Good morning peoples! I got in a swim and bike yesterday. They bike wasn't on the plan for the day but I needed to work off some frustrations so I jumped on the bike and headed to the outlet mall and bought some tri shorts. I was a little frustrated though because the shoe store closed early and I could use some new shoes for work. I felt much better when I got back and had a good evening with my family in Park City.

I can tell from my swim yesterday that I have been slacking in that area lately. I need to step it up with my swim training and get back on track.

Yup... definitely need to do that.
