How I did it: I did the same as I did for the first triathlon: entered online, and practiced until the date arrived.The morning of the event I got up, but in my contact lenses, and before I dressed I covered myself in sunblock. I loaded all the necessary gear (that I had packed the previous night) on my car, and drove to the site. I parked my car where directed, and pushed my bike and all the gear to the site. I fell in the queue for registration, where I rented my chip and got bodymarked with my race number. Then I took all the stuff to the transition area, where I got everything ready. Then I went to the bathroom, and after that I reconnoitered the area to make sure I knew where all the exits and entrances were. I listened to the announcements, so that I knew when and where the race briefing was going to take place. Then I joined the crowd of participants at the swim start, and when the starting shot went off, we started swimming like mad, got on the cycles and went off for the cycle leg, and then came back for the run. I got my free ice-cold energy drink and gave back my chip, and that was the end of the triathlon.

Three miles per my marathonrookie.com training schedule. I plan to go swimming after my Law/Govt. class and staff meeting. Haven’t been in the pool for awhile so don’t think I’ll set a yardage goal. Just get in and get reacquainted with my rather primitive crawl stroke.

Cycled for an hour, outdoor, hilled course, 25 degrees out. Gonna have to figure out some gear issues. Even the Underarmor cold weather base layer wasn’t sufficient and I couldn’t feel toes, fingers, nose or ears by the time I got back.

Nine trail miles. Gimpy foot was really bothering me and I was having a hard time with heart rate as well. Had to walk a bit to keep it under 170. 118 minutes. Made a total of 27 miles for the week.

I’ve been running and biking, but haven’t been tracking it as I should. I ran 30 miles two weeks ago, 25 miles last week and have logged 11 miles so far this week. Getting chilly for biking and haven’t biked for about two weeks. Prior to that I was averaging about 60 miles a week.

OK, the tri is on Sunday, and today I finished training for it. Two days of rest, which should let enough enough to rid me of the slight soreness.
With a little bit of luck I’ll have a few supporters too, which should be fun.

Today I did an unintended transition. Half-way through my cycle the tyre got a puncture, and I ran home pushing the bike.
I was a bit surprised at the running. I didn’t run very fast, and it felt like it was not an effort and that I could run all day.

Today I did a long ride, 17.6 km, a wee bit under the race length. I have no idea if the 47 minutes was a good time or not. Didn’t wear the padded gloves, which was a mistake: my hands went numb. I don’t know why the bike’s handlebars aren’t made more comfortable.

I went for a cycle on the road today. About 9 or so km, approximately half of what the race would be.
The bicycle saddle needs to be higher, and the tyres could he pumped harder too. Still wondering about the toe clips.

Righty, I’ve just entered and paid.
I took the bicycle out of storage today. I wanted to go for a ride today, but didn’t. Perhaps tomorrow.
I wonder if I should go to the trouble and expense of getting clips for the pedals.
