I broke down and bought spandex type bike shorts yesterday. I had a pair of the mountain biking shorts as Susi suggested but the padding was not really good for these longer bike rides I am to be putting in over the next several weeks. So $90 later, I have a pair of bike shorts. And new water bottle. I even tried to get a photo to show you all but I forgot about the little issue of flash on camera + black tank top does not = good picture!!
Had another long talk with Justin yesterday. He tells me after the half marathon next weekend, we have done about as much for my running as we can for right now in preperation for the half ironman in July. This was a happy/sad moment for me. Happy that I did pretty much every workout he gave me and did it like he wanted me to and sad because now we are going to maintain the running and work hard on the biking for the next 6 weeks. I actually thought I had been working hard on the bike, but apparently the suprises are still to come...can't wait!!
Went to swimming this morning. Was a pretty good workout. The main set was 4 x 100 hard with a 300 meter easy...do that 3 times. The gal (Susan)I have met and now swim with is super fast!! Oh my gosh!! I asked her what she thought she would be doing the 100s on and she said around 1:15...eek!!! That is faster than any of those dudes at the tri club!! AND she did some of them BACKSTROKE!!!
Did not get my bike ride in yesterday...I had woke up in plenty of time in the am but it was c-c-c-old and I thought I would have time after work. I did not have time so will be getting it in tonight...hopefully...keep you posted!!

Holy moly! 1:15 for a 100m!!! What do they need a pool heater for, just turn her loose for a few lengths...
One of the reasons I like getting my workout done first thing in the morning, is that it's done, no matter what happens the rest of the day. There's always an attack of life waiting around the next corner.
After one ride in Spandex, you'll never go back. I started on the mountain bike shorts too.
I agree with Keith-- spandex rocks. Let us know how you fare in them! :) :)
Love those super fast swimmers, eh? Except in my books, you belong to that club too!! :) :):)
