Too long between posts

Yeah, it's been a while since I wrote. 10 day, nearly 200 miles of riding, 15+ miles of running and 700 meters in the pool. That may sound like a lot of milage, but it really didn't feel like that much. I could have and should have done much more, but I have gotten used to sleeping in some days. I'm just glad that I enjoy exercising so much that I still get out and do it. You ask why am I doing this, besides the fact that I enjoy it? My daughter and I are getting ready to do a triathlon at the end of the month, 31 May. This will be her second tri and my, err, latest one, I guess. I'm not exactly sure how may this is. Somewhere around 6 or 7, maybe more. Last summer we did a short tri, 800 meter swim, 6 mile bike and a 2.6 mile run. She was the youngest competitor there and did pretty good. She's an excellant swimmer, but her bike and run requires some work. She hasn't done enough to prepare for this one, but I think she will realize that she has to work more to see better results. On the otherhand, I have prepared more for this tri than any of my previous ones. I don't plan on winning, but I do hope to lead my age-group and finish in under 1 hour. I don't remember the times from last year, but I know who won and I doubt that I can keep up with him. I should have an excellant ride because I'll be riding the Super Dave One (SD1) and it's only 10 miles. I will be pushing to have the fastest ride. I'll let you all know.
Until next time.
Ride On!
