First with the updates.
It took my feet about a month to heal from the Slacker Half Marathon, I
was finally able to get a pedicure to get the skin removed from my feet. I swore Hillary was going to kill me when she
saw how bad they were, and I was right!
She was very careful with them and man did I get a lecture! I have just
a smidge of blister residue left on my feet, but I am able to get back to
normal running!
I have decided I need to take a break from spin class to
spend more time on my actual bike. I am
sure Jose is happy with that because I have been dragging him to class every
week (he is doing an amazing job).
Swimming I have been slacking on, but that is going to be
fixed this week.
Reviews!!!!!
Big race is coming up; hydration is a HUGE issue… I have less than three months to get it
figured out. So I did what any smart
triathlete/runner would do I hit a sporty type store and picked up a few
choices (with low sodium). Last week I
did my long ride with Nuun Hydration
(fruit punch) tablet thingies. I am not a huge fan of the Alka-Seltzer after
taste, but it wasn’t to bad.
This week’s long ride (ok, it wasn’t as long as I had hoped,
but I am happy with it), I went with Nathan
Catalyst pomegranate and blueberry.
All I can say is YUCK! Now, when I got home I let kiddos try it and Jose
liked it better than the Nuun. I am not
a huge fan of sweet drinks (you should see the faces I make when someone tries
to give me sweet tea) and Nathan’s is sweeter than Nuun. So take my review with a grain of salt!
Today I also got to test run a new piece of triathlon attire! I have raced in De Soto tri capris and love
them. Ok, that was three years ago, but
I remember them fondly. I recently got a
new pair and the style changed (of course!), Carrera Tri Capri with Folding
Waistband. I wore them on my ride
today with Sport Skirt’s Cruiser
Bike Girl (any extra protection to the neither region is always appreciated!). I love the fact DeSoto kept in mind that 1/3
of the race is on a bike bent forward.
The waistband can either fold down (to below the bellybutton) or up so
no one confuses you with a plumber!
This time next week is my first tri of the season, I am
looking forward to it. I just have to
make sure I take my meds like I am supposed to if I want to actually
participate next week!!!!!
