T minus 11 weeks

So, the actual triathlon is April 1st (in Hawaii :)), ie about 11 weeks from today. The date suddenly snuck up on us, over the holidays.

Not much is new in the world of training. I fit in slightly less practice this week than I had hoped. Though I did a decent brick (50 minute bike ride, followed by a mile run), and that was pretty easy. Yesterday I ran about 3.5 miles. I was originally planning on doing a full hour... then I got bored or lazy... But at least I didn't end tired. Tomorrow we have a 2 hour trail game with the team, so that should be good.

Apparently for the half-Ironman (in June in Victoria, Canada), you must complete the course in under 8 hours. So we will be discussing that tomorrow, to estimate what our times would be. I think I need to start biking faster....That would be sad if I would be over the time allowed. And decrease my motivation to participate in the longer event. But I'll wait to judge that till I estimate my time.
