Thanks for getting us started, Scheherazade, I hope you had a good week.
Dr. Tigerchik, congratulations and good luck with the kitties, I hope we see pictures soon. Thanks for the reminder to give blood, I'll try to do it this week too. And good work keeping easy runs easy, it really does pay dividends.
Good work getting after your goals, SLO. I'm kinda sorta looking forward to Santa Barbara and Santa Cruz -- I haven't done any bricks and haven't figured out which bike I'm going to ride but meeting you at one of the races is a personal goal :D
Giving blood, helping blind runners -- I'm inspired by the generosity of the Womens!
It was a socially/personally busy week since I was traveling but lower intensity for training since I was traveling, I'd planned on:
I only swam once (just kicking) and ran twice but did everything else I'd planned -- most sessions were a little slower or shorter as I stuffed things in wherever I could because plans tend to go out the window when I go home. I had a great time just helping my family get ready for our run/bike/horseback riding race and I got to run one of my favorite hometown trails.
The fifth annual Trihoofalon was a big success and tons of fun -- we ran and biked for two teams in different divisions and both teams made the podium in their divisions (<--- I am attempting to link to photos here, cross your fingers).
I'm back in SoCal now and already a little homesick for my friends and family. Unfortunately, my elbow is still bothering me -- that is a bummer since it's been on basically complete rest for over a week. I'll test it again in the pool on Thursday and hope to be back in the ocean by the weekend.
Depending on my elbow, I'll likely swim twice and yoga once, run three times, bike three times, lift twice, and do my daily p/rehab. I'm hoping to do an actual swim/bike/run session off my tri bike on Saturday before heading to Idaho to campout for THE ECLIPSE(!) on Monday. Does anyone else have plans to see it?
I hope everyone has a great week!

2 swims focused on kicking, 4 bikes, 3 runs, 2 strength sessions, 1 yoga class, my daily p/rehab, and a nice hike at home. Hopefully my elbow will heal quickly so I can get back to swimming.
