Like many people I am really going to be pressed for time this weekend and
there wasn't a chance in hell I would be able to fit in all my workouts.
So like any normal person, I am taking the day off work tomorrow so I can
fit in my 7 hour brick workout before the weekend hits. I would actually love to
be taking the day off to sleep in and just relax. But as luck has it, I will be
out the door by 6am to ride my bike. Fun. If for some reason you feel like
taking off of work and joining me, I would love the company. Although I think
this will be a good day for me to just ride on my own and really test out my
race nutrition, etc. The only part about tomorrow I really am not looking
forward to is riding out of the city. I really hope not to get stuck in a lot of
rush hour traffic.
Why do I have to take tomorrow off anyhow?
Well, Saturday morning I will be driving off to Maryland's Eastern Shore to
do the Maryland Swim for life open water race. As I complained about yesterday,
I am not a great swimmer and this is a great chance to make myself feel a little
better in open water. They had several different options, but I will be swimming
the 2 mile option. Maybe I should have done the 3 miles, but I think 2 miles
will give me a good feel of what the 2.4 distance is all about. My goal - not
get stung by jelly fish (if there is any) and well feel good when I finish.
Sunday, I will be doing something I never do.... I will be Jason's race
Sherpa!!! It will feel weird to have a camera around my neck instead of a race
number around my waste. But, I am excited to support him as he races in his
Duathlon (run 2- bike26 - run 4).
Happy Thurs All and I hope everyone has a great weekend
:)
macarthur is pretty busy coming into the city in the mornings...but it is a Friday AND summer, so who knows - Especially if you start that early, you should be through Potomac early enough.
ReplyDeleteIf it wasn't a recovery/race weekend I would totally join you - taking off work for full training days is one of my favorite things :)
