Moving Along

Well, we are 3 weeks away from our race!! My swimming seems to be getting better on an inconsistant basis. I have good days and bad days. On a good day I can swim the whole 1500 yards in 47 minutes! That is a great improvement over my once great 1 hour and 5 minutes!

It seems we are constantly fighting some type of kid germs and it really affects the quality of our workouts. I am fighting my 5th cold since training has begun. I guess our bodies were acclimated to the Texas germs but not the California ones. I feel bad for Kaela and Jadon who have been sick with all of these colds now for 3 months straight! We should buy stock in Robitussin and Children's Benadryl.

All of that aside, last week we rode our bikes up Mt. Eden and then down the other side. I learned the powerful lesson of "don't forget to eat on the bike". When we got off our bikes I really had a hard time running 4 miles. I totally ran out of fuel. Next time I am bringing bannanas, oranges etc..to really prepare.

Tomorrow we are off to Treasure Island for a practice swim on the actual race course. I will post pictures when we get them.
