But then I went for a run and even though it wasn't immediate, again my legs were heavy and oh so slow. Will I get past this the more I try it or is it just something you deal with and get used to?
2. Wednesday at school was Jump Rope for Heart day. It was exceedingly fun! There were 5-6 stations the kids rotated through. I stopped rotating after I got to the hula hoop station. I had rather a hard time making that baby stay on my hips. The kids made it look so easy and were doing all kinds of neat tricks. I finally got so I could do it for a minute or so and it amazed me how aerobic it was. I was tired for a few hours afterwards, surprisingly tired.
3. I am feeling a little better about my swimming. When I left this week I wrote down the drills I should be working on and the things I want to remember. I always think I am going to remember them but I often don't! I have some things I am anxious to keep trying and that is not always the case. We'll see. I might be right back in my negative funk about my swimming ability again soon.
Thursday I plan to swim in the morning and then bike after my hair cut in the afternoon. I have a bag packed for each thing plus my work stuff. This sport is nuts! I can't imagine how much stuff I'll take to Maine with me. And if you have any in with the weather gods talk them into making all that predicted rain short lived.

I love that your school had jump rope day! I have a hard time hula hooping too- you just have to have a knack for it I think...
The forecast sounds slightly better today but still a little nasty. I'll double cross my fingers that the sun comes out and shines on you!
Brrrr. It was chilly down here yesterday so I can only imagine how cold it was on your bike in VT!
Hula hooping is a good workout. My mom took a class over a year ago where they learned how to make their own hoops and then learned to do some tricks. She has made a lot of hoops since then (she gave me one and a set of arm hoops). I haven't learned many tricks yet but it is fun.
I can never hula hoop. I have the hips but the hoop won't stay on!
Have I mentioned how I like you systematically list your goals/things to work on?
I can only hula hoop in one direction. The other way is a disaster. I'm amazed at people who can do it so easily.
Dont get down on your swimming! You can and will be a good swimmer! I believe and so should you!
You will master the bike-run transition and the swim. Just keep doing what you are doing now. Keep it going!
Our school did the jump rope thing too--must be a national thing. You're a good sport for hooping!
My legs ate still dead after riding as well. But it gets better if I push through.
Swimming among the throng of thrashing arms and legs is probably the single thing that will keep me doing a triathalon. I really admire anyone who can get through that without a panic attack. :)
Biking tomorrow and really looking forward to it!. Hula hooping is seriously hard - I just released how to do it with my Girl Scout troop - talk about a learning curve!
I'm sure you 're a great swimmer ... have a nice weekend!
You are working hard in all the 3 sports, congrats. I could not go to work by bike: difficult in suit, with the bag and uphill to come back home in the warmest hour of the day.
Keep on swimming and don't worry, I think you don't need advices because you have a "drill sergeant". Now I am working hard in the swimming pool even if I have some problems of skin allergy.
