Open water swim & brick… fail

How is it already the end of the long weekend? Tears.

I'm back down South. I had a great trip to NJ, but I'm happy to be home

I got back yesterday and was stoked to try my first open water swim. I've been waiting to sign up for my tri until I actually swam in the lake. It was a huge failure. I thought I was doing OK until I stopped to take a break and felt sick to my stomach. The waves were making me sea sick Probably not the best idea to swim the afternoon of Memorial Day Sunday- lots of boat traffic! I had to cut my swim short, but at least I got in a little practice.

My hubby reminded me that there won't be any boat traffic the morning of my triathlon so...

I'm doing a triathlon! Two weeks from today, I'll hopefully be a triathlete I'm insanely nervous for the swim, but excited for the challenge!

I also had big plans to do my first brick today- a bike workout followed immediately by a run- but we woke up to horrible storms that lasted all day. I still got a short run in, but I'm not brave enough to bike in the rain... yet
