Lots to catch up on, but in the meantime, a map of my course!

Brick by brick
Most training blogs I have read suggest doing a weekly brick the two months before the big day. I kind of babied out last week, but went for it today, and damn did it go!
I actually did the brick backwards because Parker really needed to get out for a run, but nonetheless everything went well. I was able to do a 2.0 mile run (slightly under the 2.9 needed for the race) followed by a full 12-mile bike ride (complete with the evil hill) in 1:11!!
My success here has done more for my confidence than anything else in the last two months have, and honestly, if I keep working hard, I may just place somewhere respectable after all!

2 down, 2 to go!
2 down, 2 to go baaaby! Have you donated? If not, do so, http://www.firstgiving.com/megandkimtriathlon. $5 is good, we like $5, or more, your choice :)
May was sweet. I had 24 workouts in the month - 13 runs, 9 bikes (despite being without a bike for a week), aryingnd even 2 swims! I'm feeling good about everything, have avoided all injury, and am looking forward to the month to come. June holds many things, including weekly bricks (combining 2 events in one session), and trying out the actual course.
I've bought a Holden pool pass and that should help increase my swim times, but hey, I'll have adrenaline on my side, and I always have the back float, right?
