Good morning skinnies. Guess what?!?! I was so excited about my dh taking my son to school and getting a quick workout in that I forgot to weigh this morning. I'll fess up tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I'll be up a pound. I've been pretty lazy this last week. Have a great day!!!

edit: I ran in the rain for the first time this morning. Loved it! It's been raining since about noon yesterday, so the puddles were a little time consuming. But, loved the coolness of the rain.

Up, Up and Away..........weight is back up to 142 this morning. I'm not surprised since I scarfed down some major Mexican food and Dos Equis (sp?) Sunday after a 60 mile bike ride.
Da*n that food was good!!!!

Last week: 213.5
This week: 216
Total: +2.5

I knew it was too good to be true. But that's ok with me since I had a horrible eating weekend. It was absolutely ridiculous! And now it's that time of the month so I am eating everything in sight. I just need to learn to eat healthier during this once a month occurrence.

No training this morning as I overslept. I'm going to shoot for a bike ride this afternoon to see how my knee is feeling. Hopefully things will go well

Thank you so much. I'm sure I'll have questions galore. I just went to the gym and then stopped at the bookstore to look at "Triathlete" magazine. Wow. Quite overwhelming. And the ads. I didn't know what lots of those gadgets were for. Or the food-type products.

Best advice I got starting out...keep it simple (pretty much like Saling said - except add the swim suit - no nekkid swimming, y'know).

Swimsuit/goggles for the pool, water
Bike/helmet for the rides
Shoes for the run

For comfort -
comfortable clothes
sunscreen
sun glasses
water bottles
swim lessons (if need be)
running hat (baseball cap)

You can do it (and well) with that much. Of course, if you like it, you'll find yourself buying all kinds of crap, but it can wait until after your first tri.

Up from last week, but I'm always up after a race. Some due to water retention and alot due to using races as an excuse to gorge myself.

Sunday's tri went well though. It was a repeat of the first tri I ever did last year, and I took about 15 minutes off my time. Finished it in 1:38:57, even after being stung by a bee during the bike. I ran into him and he wasn't very happy about it

my swim is getting better. however i still need to wrk on my breathing. did 900 yards in 30 min today but about 1/2 was the backstroke. gaining a bit more confidence seeing my swim improving rather quickly. 3 weeks ago all i could muster was 350 yards in 30 minutes. must be the added mid section bouyancy
