Friday: Triathalon Weekend at the REV 3


So, this morning, I overslept, but in a collosal feat of time management, I made it to swim on time with Ivan in tow. I did forget my coffee, but otherwise I managed everything. Our swim coach, Steven, did not have any dry erase markers today, so he just called out our workout. I will tell you what I can remember of it:
  • 8x 50 swim
  • 3 x 100 (kick 100/ drill 100/ swim 100)
  • 400 pull
  • 200 kick
I can't really remember the rest of the workout, BUT it did end up being about 3000 meters. At home, my mom came by for lunch, and then we began the monster task of preparing for a trip with Ivan. It is just amazing how much stuff is involved in the transportation of a child. The stroller, the organic whole milk, the diapers, the clothes, the bibs. I mean luckily, we were staying at a home with a crib and toys and books or we would have had to double our load. All this was packed up before we even thought about loading up the bikes, the helmets, the tri-gear, my wetsuit, and nutrition. By the time we got EVERYTHING loaded into the car, I asked myself. Was this worth it?

In Knoxville, we settled in and went for mexican food, which was advantageously located next to a Toys-R-Us. Now, I find and have since I was 12 found Toys-R-Us to be a horrible place, and tonight, I had the opportunity to spend an hour there, as my child was not capable of eating dinner at a Mexican place.

All in all, not our best day. Heading to bed early!! Will tell you about the race.
