Been a bit behind in my posts for last couple of weeks but last week was a good workout week and got some good practice in over the weekend - did a long bike ride in Bastrop (practice with some hills) and practiced an open water swim again since last September. Although I am 10x more comfortable in pool now compared to September, open water still gets me for whatever reason! I'm definitely going to have to get over that during race day! Tested the open water swim in my wetsuit and although a bit restrictive around neck, it keeps me surprisingly warm...the water was supposedly around 60 degrees...which Oceanside is estimated to be about 65 degrees on race day. Bike ride on Saturday was really good...the weather couldn't have been better! I was also able to start to work with my front gears more. I love riding out away from city, not only do I get to miss all of the stops, it's less traffic and just prettier. Wished I remembered to take pics on ride but all I got was the gem below of the weather forecast for that day...I've been waiting for a ride day like that for a loooonnng time!
This week is my last full training week so trying to put in as much as possible. Also, will be shipping my bike off to Oceanside tomorrow, can't believe next Wednesday we'll be heading that way!
