In other news, I registered this week for next semester's classes, had a few extra credits available in the schedule, and.... signed up for PE 330: Triathlon Training! Woohooo! Scheduled workouts, free (sorta) coaching, and course credit for what I'd be doing anyway! :D

"Alice laughed. `There's no use trying,' she said 'one can't believe impossible things.' `I daresay you haven't had much practice,' said the Queen. `When I was your age, I always did it for half-an-hour a day. Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast!'"

Cool about your triathlon class.

My next semester: Multivariate ANOVA Statistics Part II; History of Math; 3 thesis credits. I'm really excited about History of Math. It's practically a Harry Potter class - Muggle Studies or History of Magic or something.

just curious, why the cycling if you're training for an ultra? (I was thinking it was an ultramarathon I guess)

You're right, it's an ultramarathon (50 miles trail). I'm bikng for several reasons - the race is only 11 days away and run is tapering now, I'm a spin instructor and somehow have inherited a lot of classes this month (4 last week, thus the bike 4x) and most importantly - IM TX is only 26 weeks away and the bike is my weakness :)

I could swear I just did this. :)

I dont' really have a solid plan - swim 4x week and ride 4x a week. I'd hoped to start running this week but I'm going to give it a few more days to "cure" and then I'll start 10 min runs. Got hit with a gastro bug so that knocked out one swim (after bike ride) but other than that met all goals. Seem to be losing a little weight also - logging food so I know where I'm at throughout the day.

This week again 4x swim and 4x ride but since the US has a holiday I might make Thursday (since work should be super slow - I work for a US company) a long ride and brick a swim.

Weather is FINALLY turning around - 28C today. Finally decent weather. We've been freezing in the mid20s for ever.
