Tri for it

We are officially in the "peak" phase of our triathlon training. We are racing in the same triathlon we did last year in Mexico. It is only one month away, from this coming Saturday and I'm caught off guard of how soon that is! Unfortunately this peak phase is coming just when we are starting to feel the most challenged to stay committed to our workouts.

We are hanging with it though and just had a good bike ride. Biking on the roads down here can be a bit scary at times. Gabe made skid marks (on the road of course) today because a lady turned in front of him.
If anyone is thinking of trying a triathlon i would highly recommend The 12 - week Triathlete by Tom Holland. It is a perfect guide to training, no matter the length and your ability.

Our triathlon distances have changed since last year; this year it will be:
800 meter swim (1/2 mile)
16 mile bike
5 k run (3.2 miles)

Should be good!

the book looks good. in my opinion, 1/2 mile swim is tough, at least for me it is, but you guys will rock it.
love you both
