Triathlon training

We did it! Trent and I made it to our first triathlon training class together, and we're still standing ... a little wobbly, but we're upright.

I did my own mini-version of the class last week, since I was at a conference Saturday morning, but this morning, we did a 45 minute swim workout with Coach Muriel, followed by a 45 minute cycling workout, followed by a 10 minute run.

Yes, the run is short, but we're planning to add a minute each week until we get closer to the race we're thinking of doing in June. If we can get up to 20-25 minutes of running after the swim and cycle workouts, we should be fine for a sprint tri.

It was really fun swimming with a group again. I paced off a guy in the lane next to me and completed a 2100 yard workout in just under 45 minutes. Trent did an amazing job, too. He swam 950 yards!! And this is only his 3rd time swimming. He's a fish in the water; he just needs to build up his endurance. The cycle class was fun, and the run immediately following wasn't too bad.

After we got home, I fixed quinoa (my brother, Andy, recommends it as a protein source to repair muscle), and Trent fixed us some eggs. I also ate a couple of bananas from Coach Muriel (Trent didn't want his, so I ate it.) I'm a little tired but feeling pretty good.

Hope all is well for everyone. Dawn, where've you been? Honor, what's happening in your neck of the woods?
