Since I found last year's 1-Woman Sprint Tri so satisfying, I decided to do it again this year! In a year's time things can change - don't we know it!- and so it was with training for this year's Tri. Swimming stayed strong. Biking during March and April is completely at the whim of Mother Nature, and there was somewhat less of that than I planned. Running is still slowly coming back from the IT band injury in October (!). The lack of running has shown its face in a not-unexpected-but-still disappointing lack of endurance. Which is to say, there's plenty of huffin' and puffin' going on, both during running and biking.
I chose the date of April 30 for this year's event, once again at the end of my swimming season. The day dawned bright and sunny.
Off to the pool for a 1/2 mile swim. Ron was the photographer again this year.
Next up a 12-mile bike on my favorite forest service road near home.
The last event was a 3.1 mile run (5K).
Finished! Was I well satisfied? You bet!
I spent the rest of the day relaxing on the deck, reading, and eating pizza.
It doesn't get any better!
