Holy...I am EXCITED!!

I just got my first e-mail from my coach, Justin. And this is what he says...the red are my thoughts....

"From what I have read about you it looks like swimming is under control already, your running distance is good but you need to boost your speed a bit (duh wrt to my running), and that you need to work on cycling most (really??) of all in order to help you reach your long term goal of an IM event in the not so distant future (I told him I wanted to do an Ironman within 3 years..is this not so distant?). The good news is that the bike is the easiest area to improve and I will make sure to focus much of your training time and intensity on the bike (my ass hurts just thinking about this!!). It won’t take long for you to feel faster and more confident on the bike! (I think Justin is a bit of a dreamer...)"

But I think I like him already!!

The coach is a master of under statment. "under control" I suppose that's one way of putting it.
