Tri-ing to stay young!

Here I sit at the Internet Cafe in Shawnigan Lake waiting to go out to West Shawnigan Lake Park to register and I’m nervous as hell!! I drove by the spot earlier. While walking around, I over heard two 40 to 50 year old types talking about a training session that they were running. As one of the guys referred to “Simon” having a good day, I knew that I was in for an education. Apparently they train the Olympic Triathletes and I’m sure that they will be training me as they lap me on the bike.
I didn’t alter my training much this week. Did little Monday to Wednesday, binged on Thursday and waited for Sunday. This week’s training: One easy run on Monday (5Km barefoot) and 1 busy day (Thursday) when I rode for an hour, ran for 2 hours and swam a Thetis for 45 min. The one highlight has been my open water swim times, which appear to be in the 2:10 per 100m. My times last year were in the 3:00 range for 100m. The test shall be tomorrow.
Time to register.
I’ll talk to you again on Monday.
Wish me luck;
Bill
