Well, it’s a week before the next triathlon. Guess I better train! Saturday I talked Lisa into going out to the river trail and getting a little brick in. We did a little over 11 miles on the road bikes (short but fast) and then a quick 2.5 mile run turning at the top of the Big Dam Bridge. It was a good workout. I somehow stayed ahead of Lisa for the run but it wouldn’t have lasted much longer. I still have some cramping issues and was feeling my calves pull as I got off the bike but it had no effect on the run. No noodle leg either but that may have been due to a longer transition than normal.
On Sunday it was time to fix the dog’s fence. I had to take down a portion of the fence and pull up two posts then dig new post holes, replace the posts and put the fence back up. It took pretty much all day and I think I sweated off a few pounds out there. So now the gate works better and the fence is a bit straighter and the dogs did not get out last night. I went to bed very tired.
Got up this morning and swam a quick 1100 yards in the outdoor pool. Lisa made me do it sideways so I couldn’t follow the lanes. Good idea, working on swimming straight. Six days to the race!

So this is what you’re going to do for your birthday weekend?? Sounds like um… fun.
Have a great weekend!
We might have hurricane issues. Of course a few years ago Lisa and I did a 25 mile ride in the remnants of hurricane Rita.
