Wow, time is flying by. I did not get much training last weekend due to the holiday. Now that I am ready to run and bike outside, it is over 95 degrees out. I did get in a 9.3 bike ride yesterday before it became to unbearable to ride outside.
I am coming to the acceptance that I simply have not trained enough, therefor will not be ready for the mini sprint. I am still going to do it though. I figure it will take me about 2 hours, probably at least a 1/2 hour more or longer than anyone else. But you know what? I don't care. Of course I do not want to the humiliation of having people drag myself around the track, but it is what it is. It is a shame that I am so slow on the bike. When I went out yesterday, a girl passed me so fast; it made me feel like a turtle.
As soon as the heat wave breaks, I will do a brick workout at least every other day if not every day. I also want to get in another 3 swim practices before the race. It is 2 weeks from Saturday!
Kevin is running the Boilermaker in Utica this weekend. Despite being sick with Mono for over a month, he managed to get in enough training to do the 15k race. Kevin; you are awesome!
One last note; we went to Green Lakes over the weekend. After I jumped off the deck, I would swim around around as opposed to climbing up the ladder. It was a taste of open water swimming. I liked it! Granted it will be different next year for Iron Girl, but it is a start!
Taking the kids to the overcrowded, full of crazy kids public pool. Should be interesting!

I think you will be surprised by what you can do. However, doing a brick workout every day will not be of great benefit. I say one a week, but get 2-3 quality runs on top of that. Email me if you have any questions!
