Subject: Feel Good
Had a great couple days of training, and am feeling good about my prosepcts of finishing a sprint tri in June. After Taking 6 days off to get over the flu, this is how it went.

Swam 800 uninterupted yards on Thursday. First time I got up to that distance. Other than some stiffness in my neck from turning to breath, it felt comfortable. I think my focus on form has started to pay off.

Friday and Saturday ran 4 miles each day. The runs just keep getting "easier." My times are improving, and I feel good while running. (Nice change from when I started running 10 months ago.)

Sunday, first ride on my new bike. Felt great! 12 miles over rolling hills. Most importantly I felt like I could have ridden all day and easily run when I got off the bike. I think I am really going to like the riding portion of this sport.

Just wanted to share. It is such a nice feeling to have a few days come together like this. I finally feel like I could complete each individual event. Just need to incerase my swim and ride distances some more, and work on stringing them all together.

Sometimes we really do need a break. I don't believe that many sicknesses come from people around us, but rather, our body saying something is wrong. Glad the flu got you to new hights.

sometimes good things come from bad.  I've had similar experiences after the flu or something like it.  Feed off that feeling, but don't go crazy and overtrain.

Bill, your on target! I started doing bike/run bricks 3 weeks before my sprint tri and that was probably the best training I did before the event!

Keep up the good work and keep that good attitude and you'll have a great tri.
