We got our new wetsuits! I feel like Steve Martin in "The Jerk" "The phonebook is here! The phonebook is here!..." Yes it would seem that this isn't a reason to get all worked up about but I took it to our group swim session to make sure it fit and holy cow! What a difference!!!. I swam 1700 yards in less than an hour and it didn't feel like I hardly got started when it was time to finish. Of course it took me 10 minutes to get into the suit but once I figured it out it was no big deal. I couldn't believe how much easier it was to swim in the wetsuit. I feel really good about the triathlon now. I feel confident that I'll be able to do the swim it's just how quickly I can get through it. The the bike ride is going to be tough. I really need to get my hill work in. The run is going to be equally as tough maybe tougher because it's really hilly. Again I need to get my hill work in. So now my training pretty much looks like run, run, run, swim, ride, ride, run, ride, swim, run, run ....LOL run as much as I can, ride as much as I can, and swim as much as I can and sleep in there at one point or another.
