My training window for the Black Diamond Triathlon was a pretty short one do to the last minute registration. I’m not too concerned about the bike portion of the event (unless its raining) but the swims a bit more intimidating to think about. Last week I headed out to Lake Washington to swim without a ton of success. I didn’t drown but I was very uncomfortable in the water. This week I went out to Lake Ballinger with Bo & Chelsie, we swam a little under 3/4 of a mile. It was a good open water swim experience, while its a pretty small lake we did get away & out of sight from where we started from.
As far as the bike goes I’ve been getting in some miles. Last weekend Bo, Karen & I made it out to Snohomish & rode a little under 40 miles. The ride finished with some great hills that I felt really strong peddling up. This coming weekend the plan is to ride the half Ironman bike course which will be 56 miles of fun.
