Counting today. There are exactly 49 days left until this year's LA triathlon. I am feeling the pressure now. Pressures are good for me, need more of that in my life so I can push myself out of this mellow doldrum I am in now.
In terms of training, I’ve been training at around 70% capacity for the past few weeks and thought it would be enough to get by. Yesterday's test proved me wrong. Masterlee and I started the day at 6:00AM with a 1 mile swim. I improved my time slightly from 36 min to 34 min. this was followed by a 35 mile bike ride in scorching heat in the back mountains of OC. The ride was a humbling experience mainly because the temperature soared to the low 90s by 9:30AM. Don't think I will take it lightly again. Then finally, Master Lee and I tried to finish the last leg of the practice with a short 3.5 miles. I thought it would be a easy one, but boy, was I wrong. The heat proved to be too much and I succumbed to the combination of the heat and dead leg due to the long ride. Needless to say, it was not fun for us to struggle, even at a snails pace. Time to up the running dicipline.
For this year, I have one goal for the LA triathlon. and that is not to get embarrassed by my co-worker the blonde bomber.
I think there is no time to rest from now on. After work today, I shall stick to my plan of doing another 1 hour study (if i don't dose off) and run 3 laps around the lake when the temperature cools down a bit. Shooting for 26 min!!
Life is fun isn't it. JUST DO IT!
