Triathlete.

Not sure how this happened but I really like training for a triathlon. I know it isn't a lot of distance to cover and if I had to I could finish it. Maybe running isn't giving me the same high as it used to. I am so worried about working in a bar. There is just so much drinking smoking and eating. NEW RULES: no deep fried food and no ice tea.
This is from a bike ride in Nose Hill Park on Monday. God rays brought tears to my eyes. Also listening to fleet foxes sure created the right mood.


I met with a friend on Wednesday to get into the pool. I'm up to 150M without stopping. Still can't get the swimmers breath. Every stroke is like learning to drive: check your back mirror, foot on the gas, 2 hands on the wheel. When I get going I end up shoulder checking and moving the whole car into the other lane. SWIMMING...... Get easier.

Here is my today view. The soundtrack was the Sam Sparro album. It really got me pushing. For the first time ever I stood up on my bike while riding up hill. I only have to figure out how not to swerve around.

I love getting of the bike throwing it in my car then taking off on my running shoes. Small runs might be the new half marathon.

10K on Saturday morning before work.

Could I be the new triathlete?
