Half Ironman...

Well, I'm back at it for my 4th season of Team in Training. Only this time I've stepped up the ante, and have signed up for the New Balance Half Ironman! eek.

I was feel confident when I signed up, having just done my first half marathon in September. But I have been feeling lazy the last month, and need to kick my butt back into gear.

Wade is our coach this year, and I'm pretty sure he'll help with that... I expected our first swim practice to be nice and easy... just learning the drills, and meeting each other. But apparently not even the first practice can be easy... We swung our arms on land till tired, then skulled and kicked till tired, than swam one armed, and learned how to push off, and proper lane etiquette etc.

I think we are off to a good (hard) start.

So far:
Swam - 1000m?
