Default (OT)- Race day is almost here.

Okay, this Sunday on the good ole Fourth of July I will do my first sprint
triathlon. I am ready! I have really been working hard toward this goal but it
definitely has cut into my online time. (that I don't like, I miss being able
to read and post). I am very confident in my swimming. I have been swimming 2
miles a pop 3 times a week with lot's of interval training. I only need to swim
800 meters. I can ride my bike pretty speedy, I have been doing that 3 times a
week for 25 to 30 miles distances, intervals and hill repeats. I only have to
ride 12 miles on a very flat course. Running.... I suck. I can run/walk a 12
minute mile and that's just gonna have to do. I only have to do that for 3
miles. Now I get to do them all one right after the other. Swim, bike, run.
No problem! They hardest transition is from bike to run. Your legs feel
like dead logs, they just don't want to move. If I can improve my running then
I can progress to an Olympic distance, then a half ironman, then.....uh uh, NO
ironman, that's just wrong! That's for crazy people! LOL. So hopefully I
won't drown, wreck my bike or blow out a hip!

The Zig and Zo are getting big. I have been taking lots of pics and they are
just too goofy for words. They are both so affectionate and lovable. They
sleep in the crook of my neck (yes both of them) every night. Zoey nibbles my
chin with her sharp teeth and Ziggy licks the inside of my nostrils. It's
heaven! I will soon have time to post and play on the froup. My next race
isn't until October 16. Ziggy is sitting in my lap as I type. He is a purring
ball of furr. Skinny and lanky and very muscular. He likes to sit on my lap all
the time. Zoey likes to chase the arrow on the screen and any animations that
are flickering. So I have to put her on the ground a lot. I don't know how many
times I have to tell her that her mother was NOT a glass blower. I can't see a
damn thing.

Lets know how you get on.
Your Z's sound so precious.

I'm impressed that you're doing this, TJ! You're a winner in my book,
wherever you place. However, I hope you go home with a trophy, medal,
or ribbon - whatever is awarded for this event.
