Bad Ass GIVEAWAY!

With only a long run left this week, I think I can officially say I survived my first week of Tri training! But I won't lie; I was a little stressed with how it would all work out having doubles 3 times a week. I was especially concerned with my workout today, 45 min swim and 1:30 bike. Those two workouts separate, no problem! But doing them before work...a little different. I'm all about long workouts, um...ultra training, but when it comes to long workouts before work; I get myself into a tizzy. The thought of 2 hour and 15 minutes just seemed like a lot when I like to get into work early so I can get the heck out. Knowing this was my shortest Friday workout (yes, they get longer each Friday), I was determined to tackle both parts before work to prove to myself that I could do it.

I jumped out of bed at 4:40 and was at the gym before they even opened the pool door. I was in the water at exactly 5am and knocked out an easy, peasy 80 laps (2000 yds) in 45 minutes. I found myself taking it a little too easy today, probably because I was still half asleep, but I picked it up towards the end. Right after the swim I raced home and hopped on the bike trainer. The thought of an hour and half did not sound fun and since I haven't gone longer than an hour on the trainer before, I was hoping the hoo ha would survive. Well, thanks to Dr. Phil and the messed up life of his guest Alex, the first hour flew by and before I knew it I was counting down the last 10 minutes. I actually said out loud to myself at the end, "you did it, D!" Week one a success and I'm now confident that I can handle this training! I rewarded myself with a bucket of coffee and even used some creamer. What can I say, I'm wild and crazy like that.

So, to celebrate my success...how about a bad ass GIVEAWAY?? Remember Cheryl from RazzyRoo Headbands? Well, after seeing the great response to the headband giveaway and how much everyone liked the knee high socks, Cheryl is offering up a pair to one of my followers! If you would like to win a pair, be a follower, like RazzyRoo on Facebook (if you don't already), and leave me a comment. I'll pick a winner next Wednesday.

Sporting the socks after my kick ass pacing gig!
