I've been doing my triathlon training, although my inability to get up early enough in the morning has been hindering my attempts somewhat. I've been swimming and running more than I ever thought I would, but I haven't been back on my bike much. I'm bringing it to work tomorrow and I'll get a chance to do a good ride since we get to leave early (a guy I didn't know passed away so we're closing early).

I’ve decided to do either the Socorro Triathlon or the Bottomless Lakes Triathlon. The Bottomless Lakes race is in a big lake I visited once before and I’d like to do that but being my first tri, I think it might be a good idea to do the Socorro one since it’s in a pool. I’ll have to decide soon so I don’t miss my chance. Both of these races are Sprint distance, which is good with my lessened training schedule.

I’m excited. I think I can do it, with my least confidence being in the running. The Sprint tri includes 3 miles of running, about 3 miles more than I’ve ever run at one time. :) I’m getting better but it’s going to take a lot more pavement pounding.
