Training

 So we joined this group of "youngsters"from church to train for a Sprint Triathlon.  Yes, Tom's done them before but this is my first (and possibly last)!  Originally we weren't going to actually DO one until the end of Sept. but since we're now going to Utah for a wedding that weekend, we're doing a practice Tri tomorrow with the DC Tri group.

 We've done our own training the past 7 weeks based on the schedule they gave us and then have met up at Hains Point which is right across the water from us on Saturday mornings for group workouts or swim clinics.  We have rest days on Thurs and Sun. We're lucky that we have some former college swimmers & racers, and others who have done Triathlons before so they're very helpful.

This is Hains Point which is right across the Potomac from our apartment.  We hop on our bikes and can be there in 10 minutes.  Lots of cyclists and runners.  Gorgeous!

When I last checked, out of all the registered participants tomorrow....Tom and I are the oldest. Awesome! Hoping my cute new shoes will hold me up for a run after a swim and a bike.  Yikes!
