Back on Track

What a great training weekend! It started at 5:30 with a 9 mile run with my running partner Lurlean. We averaged 13:45 min miles. My goal for Vineman is 14 minute miles. When we finished with our run, I went over to the Y and swam 2000 yds. Sunday I woke up bright and early to carpool with Patty, Tessy, and Pam from Finish Line Sports for a great bike ride in Chappell Hill. Also joining us were Jen, Canadian Deb and Joe, Cory, and Chris. Vineman is a hilly course and heaven knows that aren't any hills in Houston. I rode a 41 mile loop in about 3 hours. The weather was beautiful and the wild flowers were in full bloom. Later in the afternoon, I met the others for a swim in Twin Lakes. Tessy and I got in 2 1/2 loops with others doing assorted distances. Thanks to Coach Jen and Kayaker Melissa for keeping us all safe. It was a full weekend of training and I now feel more confident working up to Vineman. This weekend coming up is the CapTex Olympic Triathlon in Austin. I am feeling very confident going into this race of a strong showing. It can only get better after Lonestar!
