This weekend featured E's first "big day," the first of two practice event days for Rev3 Cedar Point. It was a heck of a big day - you can read about it at his blog here. I was official support-crew-lap-counter-bike-hydration-run-hydration-nutritionist. We spent a lot of Friday gearing up for this and Saturday was the day itself - Sunday we got a much-deserved rest day!
My birthday was last Thursday, and it was filled with great new gear. E got me a new tri kit, one I tried on several weeks ago that I absolutely fell in love with. I have a Zoot kit currently, but I've never been thrilled with the way it fit. Then I tried on the Louis Garneau Pro Top and Pro Shorts. I felt fast and skinny and ready to kick some triathlon butt! Amazing how clothes can make you feel! I can't wait to wear them in the HammerHead Hot Olympic. Also - I totally love the pinstripe accents.
Sunday I went birthday shopping and decided to treat myself to something I've wanted for a long time: Lululemon running shorts. I've always heard great things about their run shorts, and after trying on several pairs, I settled on the Speed Short. They felt awesome and I can't wait to take them on their first run tonight! Look for a review coming soon!
So that's just a little catch up on where I'm at. I'm close to settling on a marathon training plan - I'm thinking Hal Higdon, one of his intermediate plans. Hopefully this week I can settle back into a regular training routine!
Happy training!
It took me a minute to realize his big training day had already past, because Rev3 Cedar Point is putting on a tri clinic this weekend and a bunch of us are going up to do it. I was excited that the both of you would be up there, but I misread
