Spring Preview

It's spring! At least for the past few days it has been. I have decided that riding my bike outside is one of my favorite things in the world. I even did my first solo bike ride last week. I was pretty nervous about riding alone, but it turns out it's not so bad! I rode home with some "big girl" pride that day. Sunday I got out with Jill and Fi for 22 and took advantage of the beautiful day and daylight savings and rode another 12 by myself. Monday I started out by myself again but caught up to Susan and Margo and rode most of the 26 with them.

The only March goal I didn't meet last week was swimming. I figure that is the lesser of the three triathlon evils for me so it's ok. I'll try to get it in this week, but the pool is closed Thurs-Sun, so that means swimming 1:15 tonight. Don't know if that will happen.

This is a good time of year for me. Everything feels good and easy. It's getting warmer and I'm excited to ride/run outside. Hopefully this motivation stays with me over the summer. Swimming is the only thing that has been tough for me to be consistant with lately. Only a few months until I get to swim long course outside!

Hopefully in the next few weeks I can get out to the Gorge and do some long hikes and trail runs. And of course my favorite thing, camp! I LOVE spring!

Nice Job. I guess I hadn't even realized you were doing that much... I knew you were riding quite a bit, but didn't realize that much.

Maybe we can get a training weekend together at Cave Run in May together. Open water swimming, cycling and trails runs.

Is the water warm enough in May there? Have to find out.

I don't know about the water temperature, maybe with a wetsuit? I'll bet it's not that cold. And if it is we could just ride and run. It would be great to get a cabin and have all the MM coaches (and whoever else wants to) come. Or camp, even better!
