It’s Official
I registered for the Gloucester Triathlon on August 9th (Sunday). Now I just need to start training!
Swimming should be fine. I got a copy of Total Immersion, which seems to be the triathlon swimmers’ bible, for $2 from a library book sale last fall. I’ve read most of it and now need to start doing the drills in it. I hope to kick ass in the swimming component since I’ve already been doing well in it for the past triathons I’ve done (all two of them, haha). I’ll be training at the DCR Connell Memorial Pool and Skating Rink…..in the pool part.
I just got a new bike helmet for Christmas (thanks Pete!!!) and a bike computer (thanks Dad!). I need to give my bike a tune-up and maybe try to get better wheels? for it. At the very least a nice spring cleaning and install the bike computer. It’s still full-out winter here in Massachusetts, in fact it’s snowing right now and has been all day, so I’ll also be going to Pete’s apartment’s gym or trying to fix the old (1980s) exercise bike in my basement until warmer weather.
For running I’d like to get some new sneakers once it gets nicer out. Right now I can go in my old ones so the new ones don’t get ruined. In fact, right now I’ll probably be hitting up a treadmill as it’s snowing…
Rob Belley of RBFit.com also made me up a great strength training program that I can do with just the free weights I have at home, so I’d like to get back into that. And while I’m being ambitious, I also have a good yoga video that I’d like to work into my training routine/schedule.
