Tri Dreaming

Well I suppose I can't boycott blogger anymore since my last blog did manage to show up. It had told me that it was lost so I declared a fight with my blog account. Since it pulled through, I suppose I should as well.

Thanks everyone for the comments! That's always fun!

So I'll keep this short since I'd really like to get out of work in the next...hmmm... 2 minutes. Looks like rain. In fact, there's a flood warning out for our county from 7pm tonight until noon tomorrow. Good times. Planning on swimming tomorrow. I'm starting my modified taper for the Half Ironman this weekend as I am still feeling the effects of the Horribly Hilly Hundreds.

The HHH... wow, what a ride. Just couldn't settle with logic and be satisfied with finishing the 100k like I had signed up to do. Mark was sick so when he said he'd ride with me after I declared that I thought I could finish the full 200k, I was motivated to finish it out. That and the fact that a bunch of guys from work (including my boss and the trek product manager that I train with)... had to earn some respect from them. Anyway, it was pretty fun. Worked on the hills and took it easy on the downhills and flats to try to save some energy. It must have worked cause I made it! I felt good the next day and managed to lift on Monday am. I've done some workouts since then but my legs are feeling pretty dead so after tomorrow's swim I'm going to take it off until Sunday. I think we might get in the lake for a quick open water trial on Saturday but that shouldn't be bad. I'm just going for a long training day on Sunday. I'm quite nervous but mostly for the run. We'll see how it goes.

Well now that it is far past my departure time, I'm going to head out and I'll fill in the rest in the near future. Hope all is well out there! Cheers.
