A snow day!

This week started with a snow day so I did not run on Monday.  The only saving grace was the fact that I just bought a trainer so I was able to ride my bike inside for an hour.  I was a little concerned that I hadn't hooked my bike up correctly, but since I didn't fall over I think I did it right.
 The Sunrise Triathlon group had a meeting yesterday for all of us who are planning on competing in New Orleans.  I now have a workout schedule and a plan!  I like when things are spelled out for me...no guess work!  Now if only someone can tell me what I need to eat so that I can loose weight while training for this thing I will be a happy camper.
I am still trying to figure out how I am going to do all the training I am supposed to do, teach 4th grade, go to graduate school, and take care of my kids (all without a spouse in the same state as me!).  I enjoy challenges and this is certainly a challenge! 
Today's workout is 45 min bike followed by a 30 min run.  I will be doing this after I get out of class tonight at 8:00pm....good thing I like running in the dark!

Dustbuster Duathlon....1st race of 2011

Well, this morning was the first race of 2011 and it went ok.  I got 2nd place in my age group...out of three ladies...but I will take the victory!  It was very chilly and extremely windy.  My run times were ok (1st run 1.5 miles in 13min 5 sec and my 2nd run was 14:39).  The bike was what killed me - 42 min for the 11.9 mile bike, that is a 16 mile pace! Yikes.  The wind combined with the fact that I have not been on my bike since November explain the slow speed. Final time including T times: 1:12:22.  Real training starts now!
