Whew... Today's workout was pretty intense in the pool...
4 x 25m in 45 sec intervals (3 times) and then 3 minutes of treading h2o (which rendered my legs numb), 3 x 50 (in faster sequence)...
Then another 100... in which I was so tired, I was going the breast stroke and backstroke...

Until next time.

Practice Triathlon
PRACTICE TRIATHLON
This past Sunday we had our practice triathlon. Yes, we come in all ages, shapes and sizes. If we can do it... Seriously, you can to!
Ever wonder what goes into a practice triathlon?
1) SETUP - BRIEFING
Setup is important. You have to arrange your things for a quick transition from one event to another. There is also a quick briefing about the conditions and the route.
2. SWIM
The first event of the triathlon is swim. Normally we start on land and run into the water, this time around we decided to start in the water. Our swim route was to the windsock and back. About 500m swim.
3. BIKE
After swimming, you run to your transition area, put on your socks, shoes, helmet, sunglasses, grab your bike and go! This time out, we rode from Kaimana Beach park, over Diamond head through Kalaha and to the Aloha gas station, and back (TWICE!)
4. RUN
The last event of the triathlon. Normally a quick 3 mile run in itself, but after swimming and going over Diamond Head 4 times sometimes your legs and calves don't like to work as they normally do. Just breathe and push hard until you feel your kick come on!
5. AFTER PARTY
Yes! Its time to celebrate! High 5's, hugs, and food are in order! This is Team Jet Hawaii training group and yes, I wouldn't have it any other way!
Go Team!
You're all rockstars!

Triathlete
TRIATHLETE
That particular word is something I thought I'd never be able to use to describe myself.
This past weekend, we had our practice triathlon. Swim, bike and run. Granted the lengths weren't very long, but its a starting off point.

2 weeks
2 WEEKS
I am still in disbelief.
2 Sundays ago, I was learning how to ride a bike. Last Sunday, was my first time riding on the street in a pack.
Today, we had our first time trial and I can't believe the progress I have made.
Just goes to show. Anything is possible.
Pic of me & some new friends.

Learning to ride...
LEARNING TO RIDE
Yesterday I woke up with anxiety. I didn't know how to ride a bike and here I am training with a Team Jet Hawaii for the 2009 Honolulu Triathlon.
An hour after the training started, I was just in shock. I couldn't believe it. Here I am going stopping/going, fast, switching gears, riding against/with 30 MPH winds. Beat part is... No blood! (I never fell!)
Granted its in a huge parking lot... but considering I've been trying to learn for a while, I can't believe what some 1 on 1 training can do. That's exactly what I had, 1 on 1 time with a trainer, Mike (pic below). Yup, he's the man...
Mahalo Mike!
This is just the beginning. GO TEAM!
