My first blog...

So I caved and will start blogging now. I thought now would be a good time since I am in training for my first triathlon and joined a triathlon team - Raise the Bar.

Last night was the first group workout at Lake Meridian and it was swim & run intensive. The swim course was a 300 yard lap. Everybody started off at the same time for the first lap and I actually finished 2nd out of about 30 so I got put into the first group with three guys. I was able to hold my own for the next three laps which felt really good. It definitely different swimming in open water with a wetsuit but it was nice! I need to work on tracking though. After the 1200 yard swim, we did a 2 mile timed run. I felt horrible during the run and was expecting a crappy time but I had a 16:05 finish which I'm VERY happy with! One of the guys I was talking with before the workout started called me a "ringer" after the workout - I'll take that as a compliment!

Tonight Sarah and I are riding our bikes from my office up to Red Hook for movie night. Should be fun. Then tomorrow morning I plan on being at Lake Meridian at 6AM for an open water swim...what am I getting myself into?! I'm sure more spandex is in my future too! Maybe I'll take a picture and post!
