Week 10 Totals

Two weeks from today KayDee and I will be doing the Utah Half!!! Time is ticking away. At this point it's getting harder and harder to wake up so early in the morning for training AND our bodies are starting to wear down. It's been a great 3 months of intense training though and a great experience (as long as we don't die on race day). LOL!

This week we had 2 bricks. We had a little fun taking pictures/video during one of them while we were out at Gunlock swimming and on the road. :0)





 
Swim: 3100 meters (1.94 miles)
Bike: 89 miles
Run: 14.5 miles

Share the road!

After nearly getting run over yesterday by a lady in her car talking on her cell phone I seriously considered purchsing on of the jerseys from this website.


Does it really make you feel better to honk at cyclists or to pass them on the side with only inches to spare? Seriously people, don't get so up tight! :0)

Riding with the Bison

On my 30 mile ride in Jackson I had the experience of riding home along side a herd of bison for a small stretch. I was a little nervous since I wasn't inside a car or anything for protection. I pulled my phone out and got it camera in case something happened to me. LOL! :0)

Week 9 Totals

Week 9 was spent training while on vacation in Jackson Hole, WY. Beautiful scenery but challenging to do when your brain thinks you should be relaxing. And, worst of all, week 9 is the maximum work load to date before the race! (I only swam once!) Below are some pics I took while out in nature. :0)

Rainy morning run along the Snake River.

Morning bike ride. The mountain pictured is called the "Sleeping Indian."

A herd of bison on the same ride.

On a run. Tetons in the background.

10.5 mile run through Grand Teton National Park.

Swim: 1200 meters
Bike: 79 miles
Run: 18.5 miles
