Nope..  It was all to do with bugs.  The people in castles got tired of bugs falling on them in bed.

A pink veil sounds pretty though.

So this morning I attempted to get caught up on my training for the week. It was supposed to be a 30 min swim, 45 min bike and 45 min run...my own personal mini-tri that was going to show me if I am ready for the real thing in 3 weeks. I think I would have made it too, except I made a big mistake. I forgot to eat before I left for the gym. By the time I was 30 min into my bike ride, I was pooped. So, even though I didn't get to finish the run, it was definitely a good lesson for me to learn.

Having said that, I now feel that I don't think I'm going to be ready in 3 weeks. I know I still have that time to work up more endurance, but I just don't know. I was dying on the bike. Maybe it was all because of lack of energy, but now I'm doubting myself. My training should have been more consistent, but I suppose it's a little late for that now.

Um. Ew.

Now I'm not going to be able to sleep because bugs might fall on me. I don't have a canopy on my bed...not even when I was 6 years old.

C'mon, Kappie - don't get down. Three weeks is some time. You'll figure out eating before you go. And your tri probably doesn't have a full 30 minute swim. YOU CAN DO IT! We can help.

(Wait - that's a commercial isn't it. Home Depot or Lowes? Can't remember.)

I noticed that Ms Enders.

Kappie,  No problem in finishing your Tri.  You may want to take it a little easier on the bike so you have something left for a leisurely run.  We have faith in you and even if you walk you will finish.

Let's see..so no movement at all in the past few weeks. I have plateued at the 153s...on any given week I am either 153.2, 153.4, 153.6 or 153.8..this morning 153.2. So lets say that my end of the month weight is 153.2 which is 4.2 pounds away from my 149 goal (by June 14, my first triathlon).

Oh..and what the heck..I am hanging out with bunch of old fogies..I am only 27


Don't feel too bad, I'm only 28

You could probably keep a protein bar or two with you in your gym bag or in the car.

Kappie:  You CAN DO IT!  You can't believe how much lack of nutrition can FUBAR a pefectly fine workout. 

Not eating before workout:  Big no-no.  (My caveat is if it's 60 minutes or less, I'll just go) But you had a big day on hand.

My latest during the bike fuel:  fat free fig newtons.  I know it's funny, but I decided, gee, I can get a whole bag at the outlet for $2, versus $1 a pack for Gu or whatever so this season I'm trying the "real food" approach.  And since I mow one or two (45 cals each) on the bike it has time to digest before run.

As soon as you get acclimated on the bike try taking in a few calories of your poison of choice.  Then near the end, the same and see how that works for you

Keep repeating in the mirror :  "I can do this!"
