Triathlon Training: Day One

Whew.

So this whole Crunch Time Training ain't no lie. I spoke with my coach yesterday and she emailed me my schedule for the upcoming week. There isn't a single day where I'm not doing something.

I'd best be a machine come the triathlon in July.

This morning's session included four miles at a moderate pace. Which I was able to do with little problems, though I must admit it's been some time since I ran four consecutive miles. There just hasn't been a call for it. At about 2.2 into it, I got pretty lethargic and was ready to find any excuse to quit ...

... until I realized that was just stupid and if I was going to do the triathlon, and pay the money for this coaching, I needed to finish.

So, I did. It took me 45 minutes, but I finished. I did a little upper body work after and did a fair amount of stretching. I think I pulled something, namely my entire right ass cheek. I've continued to stretch all day in the hopes of warding off any problems.

I'm back down to 145 pounds; I'd reached 147 before getting back into the game. While the two pounds aren't a big deal, I can certainly feel a difference in my shape and how my body is feeling, thanks to the weight lifting of the past two weeks.

I'm still not caring too much about food though.

Tomorrow? Swimming. I haven't been in a pool to swim in two years ...
