Tomorrow is the Splash & Dash

I feel good about the training I have done so far. I haven't commented much about it but I do have a spreadsheet I share with my trainer and calendar on the wall behind me to document all that has occurred over the past few weeks. Has it really been about 6 week? It has flown by.

I was really all gung ho for a while there. This week has been rather slow with it. Hard to keep up the pace and all. Plus those little voices of doubt have been creeping in. Go figure.

So we clocked my swim time at 10:05. I sent it into the girl to re-seed my swim. But it doesn't look like she switched me up much. There are about 4 people ahead of me with swim times slower than what I clocked. But then again maybe she didn't swithc their times either and we are all in sync. My bib is #87 and I suspect I will start 7:51:45am.

If I do the swim in the 10 minute time frame (although I swear I have been swimming even faster these past few pool times) I will be out of the water by 8:02 let's say. Now I have not been all that keen with my transitions. I should go check last year's blog for trnasition time and try to improve that. I will have to come back to this thought...
Then the run is 3 miles. So let's say that will be close to 50 minutes. So I suspect I will be done around 9am.

Not too shabby for a morning out. I have contemplated treating myself to a massage when it is all done. We shall see. Perhaps I should just treat myself with a drive around the block or so in my new car. (HUH?) well I will have to address that later.
