I love my swim team class so much. It's true I am the slowest person, in fact the woman who shares the lane with me is nearly twice as fast as I am, she has a bad shoulder and she wears a shirt. I'd blame it on her youth but she has a good 10-20 years on me as well. ha ha. The men in the next lane over cream both of us, and they are in their early sixties. So I have few visions of being the star of the Pierce College swim team for old adults, but everyone is SO nice and patient with me. Today I learned how to do that somersault flip turn that I always mangle, but now that I learned to do it...it is SO MUCH FUN. Maybe the funnest part of all of it ;) After an hour of working hard, I'm still happy to do a quick ride or run after, so I think my training is really shaping up for the last few weeks! Less than 5 weeks to the big day.
I'm so happy to be competing in a 5K run on Sept 11 to benefit Ovarian cancer research and awareness! I haven't figured out how to link a charity to my tri yet, but I am going to! I know there are ways.
My goal for the 5 K is to do it in just a little over 30 minutes (10 minute miles) Should be not too hard, but I do start to burn after a couple miles running at that speed. I think this will be a good goal and since the race is in Studio City it is comforting that we are several miles from any cold salt water and I wont be expected to immerse myself in it...just run on pavement. VERY nice. :)
