Ugh...

Went out this morning for a bike/run brick. I did not bring any water with me. That was bad. I didn't feel thirsty at all, but it it warm and humid out there and I sweat a lot. And now I am home and still sweating my ass off and I feel dizzy and nauseous.

Schedule fail.

OK so today was supposed to be a swimming day but it worked better schedule-wise to swim yesterday so I biked today instead.

Except yesterday after swimming laps I stayed for "Aquacycle" class, and essentially biked for an hour yesterday in the water (really, really fun). And then tomorrow is a bike/run brick.

It's not the pedaling that is a problem. It's the time spent on a bike seat. My butt still has not built up a lot of endurance for biking. Even with the new gel seat, I get sore.

Doh!

Squee.

I had actually stopped weighing myself a few months ago. I decided I wanted to just focus on exercise and not the number on the scale.

But then after 4th of July weekend I decided to make some major changes in my diet and I have been back on the scale to see if my efforts were making an impact.

I've lost 8 pounds in the last 3 weeks. And no calorie counting!

i suppose 8 pounds is just a drop in the proverbial bucket. But every pound I lose is one I don't have to drag around with me on race day. And 8 pounds? That's a bowling ball!

3 Weeks To Go!

The tri is in three weeks! OMG!

I picked up a new sports bra this week. One of those cheapie uni-boob ones from Target. I figured it would be better to wear under my bathing suit. I tried it out today for my swim/bike brick. It worked fine.

It was really tough to drag my ass off the couch to go work out today. I was out late last night and slept all day and it just made me lethargic.

Of course now I am all worn out from swimming and biking. Oh well.

Yay! Friday!

No workouts scheduled today. I have never been so excited about a "rest" day. I worked really hard this week.

Got a swim/bike brick tomorrow. I think I am going to try and get some people to meet me at the beach. I can bike around the lakes then have an open-water swim and then hang out and get some sun.

Awake.

Well, out of bed at least. Not sure about the awake part.

Trying to induce alertness before getting on a bike.

Place your bets...

The plan for tomorrow is to wake up early (like 6:30) and do tomorrow's bike/run brick before work and before it gets hot out.

Will I be able to drag my ass out of bed? Hm...
