Tri Dreaming

Everyday I say, wow, I need to update my blog and still I never find the time to do so. There should be more hours in the day. Once again, I find myself pressed for time since I have to spend this beautiful day inside working at the club. Isn't it great when you need the money that bad?!

So for all of you still wondering how that snow shoe race went... it was awesome. i had so much fun!! Having never been on snow shoes for any notable length of time, I was somewhat nervous starting out, but quickly found it really wasn't too hard. I did manage to clip my right ankle far too many times than necessary creating a rather large bruise, but it could have been far worse. Long story short, the run was beautiful, running through the woods with all the fresh snow and I met some pretty cool people along the way. A big hill part way through knocked a lot of people off ahead of me which was convenient since it was pretty much impossible to pass anyone on the single track. I just kept going and actually managed to come in second female overall and first in my age group. Never expected that and I know it was a fluke, but fun nevertheless. I recommend trying it!!

Otherwise, got in 3 runs last week over lunch, a couple body pump classes, and taught cycling twice. Swim class started Tuesday night but luckily it was the intro so we only had to swim for about 25 minutes. The fun part of the week is that the weather was nice enough for the group lunch rides to really take action. I went riding on thursday and Friday. My legs weren't as fresh as I would have liked them to be. I spent Wed. night on the trainer for an hour which cashed my hamstrings for Thursday's ride and then I taught Friday morning which put a damper on Friday's ride, but it was all good. Needless to say, I had nothing left for the two classes I taught on Sat. morning. Good times.

Gotta run, the dog got the idea that I'd take her for a walk before I left for work and is freaking out. Have a good one!
