learned a few things today

1. swim at least once within the 2 years prior to competing in a triathlon of any distance.
2. eat breakfast.
3.dont attempt to dead lift 500lbs 2 days before a triathlon.
4. Run at least more than once in the 6 months prior to competing in a triathlon.
5. riding bike to work everyday doesn't count as cycling training.

I think those are the most important things i learned today.
The Blue Lake triathlon was a BLAST. Shirley, Liz, and I had a blast. It was SUCH a good time. Liz took 7 minutes off her time from 10 years ago. We decided to call the Blue Lake triathlon our baseline and decide how to train for hagg lake. i must say that i wasn't prepared for it(no surprise). I need to get into the pool. I used to swim 5 times that distance every day for 5 years. However, it felt like eternity today. Shins got really tight too. Water wasn't very cold. Cant wait for the next one. I'll try to find pics to post.
