Sunday, July 19 - Swim / Bike

Met at Mt. Tam High School for our swim run this morning. I carpooled with Elaine again which is great. We are getting fast and loading the bikes onto the rack. I thought we were swimming in the ocean today, so I was totally confused when we were at the pool. That's one of the drawbacks about not driving. I pay less attention! We were practicing transitions today, so we had to wear our tri shorts. Since I thought we were in the ocean, I just had a sports bra on...instead of a swimsuit. Sadly, I had to swim in the sports bra and trishorts. I wasn't the only one, but it was a violation of my life. The half ironman folks transitioned to the bikes before the Olympic team, so we kept swimming laps. I think we may have swam a mile and a half and then we ran to our bikes to throw on our bike shirt and takeover. I ate a lara bar between the ride. I might try the gel next time to see how it works out. The bike ride was only 25 minutes, but straight up hill. Going back down was fun. I had to walk the bike for a moment during the ride. I need to start doing more hills on my own. It was beautiful weather in Marin.
