On Sun August 21, 2011 I finished my 5th triathlon in Orillia. It was a sprint distance – 750 meter swim, 33 km bike and 7 km run.   Overall highlights of the race: The swim is a beach start, everyone runs into the water at the same time.  They also start in waves according to your age group. ...

I need some new swim gear.  New swimsuit and new goggles are in order.  My speedos goggles are starting to leak in water.  The suction is not that good anymore and starts to fog up.  I can just see the floating orange floaty turn buoy’s in the races.  I am going to purchase some from wiggle...

I was looking around for Ironman’s.  Not that I will be able to do one next year.  My friend said that I should practice more before attempting one.  I looked anyways.   I saw the first-ever Ironman triathlon in New York City and New Jersey!! As soon as I saw that I was so ready to sign up. ...

I missed a whole 3 days of workout last week! From Friday – Sunday I didn’t swim, bike, or run.  But I did do a lot of walking.  I went to visit my boyfriend in NY and we must have walked 10 miles.  I guess that is considered exercise.  My legs are a little sore from that.  I also wanted...

Last week was my first triathlon and amazingly I brought all the stuff that I needed.  Oops, I did forget to bring slippers to walk to the swimming start.  My friend Kevin was so nice.  He took off his slippers for me to wear across a rocky path to the swimming start.   I started preparing the night...

Today in swim class we did a 400 meter warmup followed by a 1500 meter time trial.  Basically 60 lengths of the pool or touch the side of the wall 30 times.  The coach was trying to break it down for us.  I have a seriously hard time remembering my counts and have to consciously make up a story around...
