It is official! I made it through my very first triathlon! The Callaway Gardens Triathlon. Wow, I must say, I really enjoyed the triathlon experience, it was truly an awesome event. The adrenaline was pumping the entire time and I could not wait to get started. I was a little disappointed in my swim time, but at the same time, it seemed to end very quickly. I do not have the results just yet, but I will post them as soon as I get them. The cycling went really well and I think I did a really GREAT job as I passed a lot of people. The run went very well also as I saw myself once again passing a number of people.
Here are this week's results:
Monday: SWIM/30 minutes=40 laps/Today, I realized that I am beginning to really like swimming. After this triathlon, I will probably start swimming a couple times a week.
4.2 mi(run)/35:14/Today's run went really well after 40 laps of swimming. I felt pretty good even though it was pretty hot and humid.
Tuesday: 3.3 mi(run)/28:07/Easy run as I taper for the race. Took my time and enjoyed the run. It was very humid.
6.6 mi(bike)/24:51/Easy, easy ride where I stopped by Jerry's and talked for awhile and then came home. Several big
hills.
Wednesday: SWIM/30 minutes=40 laps/Great swim where I just took my time and tried not to push it too hard.
TENNIS/1-hour/Probably not the best idea since I am supposed to be tapering and not to mention it was like 92 degrees outside, whew!
BIKE/17.8 mi/1:15:53/Nice ride on a very hot day! I should not have been riding seeing that I swam earlier for 30 minutes and then played tennis for an hour in 90 something degree temperature. Whew!
Thursday: REST(Not really, played 18 holes of golf!)
Friday: REST
Saturday: REST
Sunday: Callaway Gardens Sprint Triathlon
Like I said, I am very happy about being able to complete my very first Triathlon! As a matter of fact, I am satisfied with the results. Hope everyone had a great week of training and look for my triathlon results in the next day or so. Congratulations to the Stonaker boys for a great triathlon!

Nothing better than a good run! I've been running for over 30 years and find myself enjoying it more every run. Running marathons is a thing of the past for me. I'm extremely proud to have been able to complete 14 marathons. These days, my goals have changed and I have enjoyed running 1 1/2 marathon a month. Woot! Running 3-4 times a week is good enough. Spending time with my wife and kiddos, Juliana(14) and Jessa(13) are priority for me these days. GR8FL!
