Today Team Penny and Team Gant headed down to the beach at SMCC together.
The wet suit was applied to my body with much improvement! I was a lot more comfortable pulling it up all the way and it definitely was not so darn tight. I did not zip it entirely up the back which was a great choice. I felt like I could breathe and move (and actually swim!) and it was such a relief!
The tide was low, but that may have been the worst part of the whole experience! I don't think I swam 1/3 mile, but it felt so good to actually be able to swim more than a few strokes before having to stop to catch my breath. I did primarily backstroke and I'm okay with that. Transition 1 should be interesting, but this is my first TRI so I am going to concentrate on the swim, the bike and the run. Not so much the transitions. I am ready for T1, I know what I need and I know what T1 consists of - I'm just not sure it's worth it to me to kill myself trying to save 90 seconds putting my shoes on.
It's gotta be short & sweet tonight. I'm beat!
Anyway, after last week's difficult ocean swims, tonight was a huge personal success.
And a yummy pasta dinner with great friends was also quite fun!
I am blessed.
