WISH ME LUCK!

I got a guest pass to LA Fitness and am going to attempt to swim/bike/run(walk) all back-to-back to see if I really can do this Triathlon thing in 2 weeks. I've eaten a good Breakfast and going to drink a protein/berry smoothie about an hour before I swim. Then a Protein Shake before the bike. Then a banana and my homemade power ball bites during the walk. (Of course lots of Water all through.) Let's see if I can make it in any kind of reasonable time frame.

Well, I did it. Wasn't pretty and I am sure not going to break any speed records, but I did the 400 m swim, 14 mile bike ride, and 5K walk, all back to back. I am tired and hungry, but I don't hurt or feel sore any where. I don't think I have the caloric intake right yet, so still experimenting with that. My tum was starting to resist the swallows of Water - not actually cramping, but not real happy, It could be that my energy balls have too much fat and are sticking around too long in my stomach. I will try something a with little more carb and less fat, using only as I am exercising, so it should go right into muscles. It took me about 2 hours 20 minutes total, using the machines. I really need to work more on my swimming and biking. Swimming is hard, if you haven't done it for a while. It expends soooo much energy. And I have to build up some calluses on my bottom!
