Week Off

After my private 70.3 last Sunday I vowed to take a whole week off.  It was great at the beginning of the week, but by the weekend, I was ready to get back at it.  We had absolutely perfect weather this week and weekend and I decided to stick with my plan anyway.  It was tough, but I'm glad I did since it gave me an even bigger urge to get back to working out.  For fun, I looked back through my logs for the last two years and this was the third week in two years that I had zero exercise.  The other two were the guys fishing trip the last two years.

I haven't decided exactly what I'm doing next year, but I have decided I would continue with triathlons.    The swimming is still scary and the pain is uncomfortable, but the challenge is invigorating.  If I get accepted to the Rev3 tri team, I'll do a couple of their races.  The chances of me being accepting are slim, but might as well try. You can apply here.

One problem with working out a lot is that I don't have energy to do chores and other things.  So I got a few chores done this weekend and it felt pretty good.  I also got some cooking in though I forgot to take pictures.

Oh yeah, wear your helmet, it's dangerous out there.
