6lbs down!!!

The last challenge I did on BT consisted of running 20 miles and swimming 18000 meters. Both of which I passed. I am really quite proud of myself. These are my August totals so far. I think in the winter and after my last race (September 23rd) I will start strength training. I feel I don't have the time at the moment. This season is really just for fun. Next year however I plan to be in at LEAST my top 10 AG. I want to be able to compete so much better and I think I need to throw a little weight training and yoga and some cardio classes in there to mix up my off season training a little bit.

I am picking up a wetsuit today and I am so excited about trying it out! Never swam in a wetsuit before and I'm really hoping it helps me this Sunday.

These are the results of my last race: Lake Sammamish Tri on August 25th. super, super course but I was really hurting towards the end of the run. Lead legs AGAIN!!!! Maybe if I sprint at the start, loosen them up a bit?
