Training update

It's been a few weeks since I've written an update, but I haven't been slacking off.  There's been A LOT going on!  After TTT, Mark and I went to Boulder to visit Caitlin and also to celebrate Mark's 50th birthday AND run the Bolder Boulder.  We had a great weekend!  It was wonderful to see Caitlin and Mark and she got some hard bikes in (I ran and swam while they were biking the hills of Boulder).  We spent most of our time with Caitlin - ate out a lot, went to a local memorial day festival, farmers market, sushi for Mark's birthday,etc.  I even got to see my coach, Scott, who I haven't seen in over 4 years.  And meet his very nice wife, Teresa.  They moved to Boulder recently and both just held a tri camp, so invited us to their house for a bbq.  We got to meet a lot of their friends, who are all serious athletes.  It made me feel very out of my league. 
Saturday, Mark and I are doing our annual bike ride to Kelley's Island and then the 10K race afterwards.  Last year, I couldn't do this ride, as I had just had a reconstruction surgery.  So Mark and Caitlin rode over and Kyle and I took the truck over.  But this year, I'm feeling back to myself and have been training pretty hard for months.  So hopefully, I'm ready to make this ride.  It's over 80 miles to ride there, as we have to go the long way and bypass the water.  We're going to leave early Saturday morning to hopefully avoid the thunderstorms.  We've been making this trip every year since the kids were about 5.  This year, sadly to say, they won't be coming with us.  But we have a lot of good memories at Kelley's Island. 
Anyway - training is going well.  I'm getting all the workouts in.  Nothing is hurting or strained or sprained.  I feel good.  The only thing missing at this point is lake swimming, but hopefully we'll get that going next week. 
More updates soon...
