I'm officially into my triathlon training. Last week was week one and I think it went pretty well. Monday was a bit of a disaster, because I read week 1 of month 2 instead of month 1 so I swam and biked longer than I was supposed to. From an exercise perspective it was fine, I wasn't exhausted or anything, but from a body perspective I screwed up. I had to give blood at the Dr that afternoon, and didn't drink/eat enough so my electrolytes and fluids were all screwy. Had a little headache that I didn't think too much of, till we were watching the evening news and Brian William's face started to melt. I've never had a migrane with aura before, so it was a weird experience. After a few hours of not really knowing things I should know, I went to bed at 9. Felt much better the next day and continued on the right track for training.

This week has been busy at work with lots of hiking, so I'm pretty tired. Did 4 miles on Tuesday and another 3.5 on Wednesday, all at Sky Meadows. Most of that is either straight up or straight down, so the legs are a little cooked. Sure felt good to get in the pool after all that though!

Today I'm in the office all day, which is a needed break. My legs are a little sore and just generally tired. Biking for about an hour tonight shouldn't be too horrible, even though it will be hot. Drinking lots today in prep.

Going to Metro Run Walk tonight to get some new running shoes and check prices on foam rollers. Bring the pain!

I had no clue you were gearing up for a tri.

Go Hokie!
