Tuesday Randoms + my pro tri friend

[wambam]

My college friend and former lab partner who is a professional triathlete has been named the first head coach of the women’s triahlon team at Transy. www.transysports.com/general/2017-18/releases/20171016ko7tuz

So excited for him and for triathlon at the collegiate level!

That’s awesome wambam! ( although I had to look up WTH Transy is)

My ankle feels like it’s made of ice, for lack of a better metaphor. It’s stiff, my side to side mobility feels limited, especially before it’s warmed up (note: it is not painful). I’ve been stretching it and half assed rolling out my calves, but any advice welcome.

Haha yeah, it's a small private university in Lexington (where UK is). You have to drive through their campus to get out of town.

Spectating IMLou was no joke. I'm exhausted and I have blisters, lol. That said, meeting taratru and al320 was freaking AWESOME and it was so great to see ktzmoh, emilyj, and @vtcupcake again and meet their respective Hs.

In other randoms, I'm trying to figure out where I can swim this week and I can't find anywhere that can accommodate a 2 hour workout where the pool temperature is under 80 degrees. UGH.

My lower back hates me. I don't know why. The only thing I can figure out is that it hated sitting outside watching a cold football game on Saturday.

[taratru]

Me this morning: I am so inspired by Ironman... I am finally SWIMMING TODAY!

Also me this morning:


So I lifted.  UGH. 

[CallingAllAngels]

taratru , I feel like that always happens to me when I'm most motivated to swim. Or it will start thundering as soon as I get in the pool 

[labbie]

I wore long sleeves and gloves for my run this morning for the first time, and then it's turning 80 degrees again by Thursday. Wtf?!

I’ve had to adjust my schedule to accommodate my kindergartner and homework so I am no longer at the gym as long as I used to be. I’ve been dealing with aesthetics and performance trying to be happy with where things have gone/are going.

On a good note, after non-stop training for most of last year then burn out I have finally found running enjoyable again. It took a year but I finally like it and look forward to running and have been scheduling it in. I’ve avoided it this year.

I'm tired of running. I'm not sure if I need a break or what, but I haven't been motivated to go at all. Unfortunately I'm also terrified of losing all of my endurance, so I'm forcing myself to run anyway. I'd love to take a month off and focus on CF instead.

[emilyj]

I am SO damn tired.

I am still cold after my ride tonight, almost 3 hours later.

It should warm up later in the week!
