busy weekend

This weekend was another busy weekend. Started Saturday with my first open water swim. The experience was "lacking". A nice word to say that I did not do very well in murky salt water where I could not see my hands in front of me. After the swim we ran for 4 miles. That was much easier.

On Sunday, Tomi and I took the kids on a nice 17.5 mile bike ride. Where I would normally finish that in about 1 hr, it took us almost 3, but who cares. We went riding as a family. Gotta love that.

Now all I need to do is find more open water to do more practice swims and I should be ready for Pacific Grove. 54 more days.

Got My Speedo's -- YEAH!

I got my speedos and tested them out in the pool today; I swam doe 1/2 mile.  My son was in the pool for this swimming lessons.  So I decided to lap swim for the duration of his lesson.  25 minutes later, I clocked 32 laps which turned out to be about 1/2 mile.  Not bad for my first time in the pool in a while.  (Note, I did take short breaks several times between laps).

And I biked to work today as well.  So 15 miles on the bike and 1/2 mile in the pool.  Not bad.  

And for those of you who want to see me in these speedos, you'll have to come and watch me swim.  :-)
