Have a great weekend everyone! I'll check back in after the beach trip.

I hate it when the wind blows 30 mph. If you are camping on the beach, it makes it hard to sleep when your tent is moving at 15 mph.

The trip was canceled. My son and I were pretty disappointed.  We did go swimming anyway. We have to cross the Medina river to get home, we had our stuff with us so we swam for 1.5 hours. Water about 75-80, air temp 90. It was perfect. I worked on getting comfortable in the water.  The water is really deep and I got out just once to get a drink so I had to depend on treading water or back floating. I had a little bit of the ow panic but kept at it until I felt really comfortable.  So much better than the chlorine in the pool. My son and his friends go almost everyday after school.  I am going to go to the river for one of my swims per week if I can without embarrassing my kid. I went running after at the city park 2 easy sub 10 minute miles on the shady running path.  Life is good!

I have a minisprint next Sunday, then  three weekends until another minisprint which is one week before my A sprint, the Danskin (so... 5 weeks away).  I want to go fast on my two minisprints and to really cut my time from last year's Danskin.  I'm going to spend some time later today looking at my training plan.  Should I wait to worry about increasing the distance later? My goal is the olympic in October (my next A race) but I almost feel like it's too early to worry about that. Maybe I should move the Olympic up? Any ideas? I'll ask some specific questions after I look at times and schedule later.

Thanks!

Haven't been riding bike with clips for very long, and was wondering if a shoe is made that you can unclip and walk on.

Have some friends that live on the lake and like to visit after my ride but don't really like being barefoot

Thanks for Info.

Don't go inside always set outside on pier I think these would be great.

Thanks Lee,

As I was running today I laughed when I thought, maybe I've been subconsciously hoping no one will notice that I'm not running as much as I should! 

I upped the run today to 5 miles. It seemed easy and then my knee started hurting.  I could have gone further but thought I'd better stop.  I'm icing it now.  It seemed to get better when I would stop and stretch. (foot to butt knee bent) It may just be tight. I hope. 

I'll send you my plan, and some questions about possibly changing to an intermediate oly plan once school is out.  I'm going to bed! 

Too funny! ROTFLMAO! You are too cool. Ride on team Triathosuction!  

Great job Tiny, keep up the good work.  Having traveled the same road as you are now I know where you are at and where you have come from.  Getting out of the 3's will be a huge moment I suspect.  My heaviest (that I know of) was 365.

Well, I have been going to the pool regularly and thankfully it is getting better, I know longer feel or look like a drunken wiener dog tryng to make it to the other end of the pool.  I still have a lot of work to do before I am comfortable, but it is getting better.  I just received my Total Immersion DVD and the Triathlon Swimming made easy book, so hopefully those will help me progress too.

I don't get a chance to post as often as I would like and have also not entered anything in my training logs, but I do try to read the forums everyday and have continued to get good info from everyone.

Keep up the good work all, and happy training.
