1 More Week
So this weekend marks the last weekend of training before the actual race. I think I’m ready for this race. On Saturday I witness my team mate be the first one out of the water after swimming .5 miles in the ocean. I got on my bike and rode the best I could. The last time I trained at Zuma, it took me about 1 hour and 12 minutes to finish 18 miles. This time I was able to get 18 in exactly 1 hour! My consistent pedaling these past 3 months has certainly paid off in huge dividends. I was able to run my 4 miles without stopping afterwards. I was able to catch up and keep up with my boss who by mile 2 broke away from me and was probably about 5 seconds ahead. I felt so great after it was all done. I was so hydrated that I had to pee 3 times on the way home. That should be a record of some sort.
Another good thing that happened this weekend was that I found 2 articles of my possession which I thought was long lost. Such a fulfilling feeling to have my stuff back. I’m bad for needing these items. I also got a new memory card for my new digital camera. Can’t wait to take better quality pictures.
I’ve been bad at keeping my “Album” section updated. Even though I’ve been posting pictures from my Flickr account, having complete albums is much easier on my own site. I decided to upload another album from last month’s visit to San Diego. We went to my first NFL preseason game as a spectator. I’ve worked at Raiders game before in high school but this was much better being there and enjoying the game.
Hopefully the next updates will have pictures of the race. Stay tuned.
