Setbacks

So much for keeping my blog up to date... almost three weeks since my last post, and lots has happened.

Training is not going as well as I would have liked. My swimming is the only thing that has been fairly consistant, which is surprising, because I've decided not to join masters for the summer, and just swim on my own.

I haven't been able to run since the Ottawa Race weekend, which is partly to do with a mix of groin and IT Band pain, but also because I've been pretty lazy over the past few weeks. I'm 13 weeks out from my peak event of the season, and I'm starting to get a little concerned.

Lastly, I crashed my bike last Thursday, so that's out too. I need a new wheel, tire, and front derailer, but at least I didn't get run over, while laying on the road during rush hour.

So it's time to get serious. To help fight my laziness, I've joined a weekly indoor brick workout, at my local tri club. I also took my wetsuit out of storage and have left it out for me to look at so that I'm tempted to finally get outside to swim. Meech Lake is only 3 weeks away, and I really want to improve on my time from last year.
