Continuing to move forward

It's been a while since I've updated the blog. This is for a few reasons: 1) I doubt anyone is reading it; 2) I've been insanely busy.

Training is moving forward at a steady pace. I have to say, there is a bigger difference between triathlon training and marathon training than I ever guessed. For instance, I almost feel like I'm ready for the triathlon. I'm swimming well over a mile at every swim that I do on my own. Biking seems to be no problem. I'm bored. I'm frustrated. I'm running more than is on the schedule because I feel like we're not doing enough. This weekend's group training is a run clinic. A RUN CLINIC. I don't need a run clinic!

What I NEED is to learn how to transition. I need to be doing more swim/bike/run workouts. So I think I'm going to start doing those on my own. I already rode my bike to the pool last week, maybe this Friday I'll bike again and then do a short run afterwards.

Honestly, I just feel like I've gotten as far as I'm going to get with each individual event. I need to be swimming in the lake, and I need to be doing more combined workouts.

In other news, I've made a ton more bookmarks, and they are selling pretty quickly. People are stocking up for Christmas. I sold half of the ones I made this weekend, so I'll be spending a bit of time tonight creating new ones!
