This has been a great morning so far. At the Team Danskin training, I got in a 50-minute swim. It is amazing to me how much better I swim just in the three weeks since the first swim training session. I felt more confident with what I was doing in the water, the different things my body is supposed to do are starting to come together, and a few times I even felt graceful! For anyone who is considering doing a triathlon and has never has any swim instruction as an adult, I STRONGLY recommend taking a class or two. It has certainly paid off for me.
I’ve just come back from about a 2-1/4 mile run in my neighborhood. I thought it would be good to do something else and see how my knee is doing. I did have mroe problems with my gait and crossing my legs that I did last week, probably because I’ve already worked out 50 minutes this morning. But I was able to catch myself whenever it started, and I didn’t have to bail on my workout like I did a couple of weeks ago when I practically hobbled home after less than 5 minutes. So, good!
Now I’m about to do a 25-minutes yoga for abs tape (it will be the third time I’ve done it in less than 7 days), and then I’ll finally shower and get this chlorine smell off of me.
Tomorrow morning I am going with a group from Team Danskin to ride the bike course for the triathlon. That means that I’ll have done all three sports this weekend. I feel good enough right now that I’m almost tempted to go out on my bike right now!
Almost, but not quite. :-)
