3 weeks! May 16, 2005
Posted by vollenda in : General , trackbackIt's 3 weeks until my first tri. Less than 3 actually! And I've hit some kind of wall: don't want to train, eating way too much, not sleeping. I'm not really tired, in fact, I've been doing less than usual since the "knee incident'. I just seem to have lost the "spark".
Actually, training isn't going too bad. The swimming is coming along…finally. Bike is good. Running is good. I'm sticking to my schedule. But instead of "Woo Hoo, I get to swim/bike/run!", it's "well, might as well" or "dang it, get out there!".
Yesterday helped a little. I went to the LBS and bought tri shorts and a top to wear so I'll have plenty of time to break them in. And I tried on a wetsuit for the very first time. What an experience! It took me 20 minutes to get it on the first time and when I walked out to show the guys that it didn't fit, they informed me I had it wrong and had to start over. Start Over?!?! I was already hot, sweaty, and tired from the first time. 
But the second time only took 8 minutes so I'm getting better…and it was a lot of fun talking to them about tris and training. It was a little shot in the arm. Today, it's faded a little. I really have to find my enthusiasm again. Hello? Come Back!
