Triathlete by TFP

Just looking at my calendar, I have exactly 12 weeks until my first triathlon. Some have been asking my race plans.
Here they are: July 12th - Trek Women's Sprint Triathlon, Pleasant Prairie
Aug. 16th - Pleasant Prairie Olympic Tri.
Sept. 27th - Danskin Sprint - again Pleasant Prairie

I should be pretty comfortable with the PP course by then! Plus I get to swim in Lake Andrea;) Speaking of swimming...I can swim now! I put in my time, and with the coaching it all did magically come together. We'll see how it is when I get in open water, but I'm confident it will be just fine. Just to compare, my first swim lesson/session in December I could barely do 25 yards...and yesterday I completed a 2400 yd. workout!

This weekend I finally got to pick up my new bike. It's a beautiful Trek Madone WSD 5.2 project one that I picked out at TFP night at M&M Cyclery. I've been drooling over a bike like this for more than a year. Was hoping to have this in time for the TT last Sat. I've been training on my husband's bike - which is great but it's nice to have my own bike that fits me, plus now we can ride together and I might be able to keep up. The TT went ok on the 11th. I improved my time by over 1 minute and watts by 11. Much better than last time. I'm amazed at how much I've learned about cycling from the compu-trainer classes. It will be interesting to get outside and see how it translates on the road.
