With about 1-week left before my first triathlon (1000 yard swim), I was able to hit 600 yards in the pool. Planning on going for 1000 yards tomorrow.

Last time I updated this blog was nearly 4 months ago. My has time flown by. I’m short on time as any triathlete should be so I’ll keep this short and writing just for posterity sake.

Swam 5 out and back laps today at the pool + a 5.5 mile jog. http://connect.garmin.com/activity/60400116

It’s mid-December and the weather is gettin’ pretty wet! Working out in wet weather can be pretty fun if you’re feeling adventurous but it can also be pretty rough. Today was my first run in about 8 days and was only able to do about 4 miles where I walked almost .5 miles. My legs [...]
