Wedding day/Race day

Yep... Picking a race to run the morning of my wedding. I got the ok. So I'm not doing this against her wishes. I think it would be a lot of fun to run a short race (fun run or 5k) the morning of the wedding.. before hair makeup, dress blah blah blah. My brother will be in town and has never run at altitude before. *giggle* snort... ha ha ha this should be funny. Getting married doesnt mean the decline of my health. It will be another opportunity to wear a veil...b/c I am not wearing one in the cermony. A good way to shake the wedding day jitters. lol An excuse to take a wedding day nap, and or start drinking a beer before noon. lol anyway... H.A.

got 'er done

I got notice that my sponsored kit came via FedEx from China today. Woot woot. I hit the pool after work for a 750, it was long and painful, but I did it.. Sat in the hot tub for a bout 5 mins and headed home. I opened my FedEx box and immediately put on the entire kit. Tri shorts Tri top new snazzy jacket (eventhough it was 97degrees outside) I thougth I should go for a bike ride. Yea.. a short one. So I did about 5 miles and the kit felt great (no jacket on the ride). The kit this year is very patriatic looking. Outstandingly amazing, I love it! Go Team Aquaphor!!! I may post some pictures.

some swimmers are cheaters...

Went swimming at the hotel pool. It was shallow but I just swam the perameter since I was the only one there. I did that about 400y worth, then I got dizzy. lol My fiance joined me later and we decided we would race the length of the pool, which was about 15yrds 4 strokes for me or less. On your marks Get set Go. I take off and she grabs my ankle and pulls me back.... REALLY?!!? Yep...she's one of the cheating swimmers. H.A.

Hot run day

4 x 200 sprints

I was a bit dehydrated afterward. I guess I haven't been taking care of myself.

Drank water at practice & all night long. I feel better now.

Swimming fail

Bought pro goggles. Why? Because I thought they were cool & I had a gift card so they were free.

Result: blind swimmer... Water crept in & kept fogging.

Sigh

Swimming fail 2

Wednesday Open water swim with natural hair that when pressed is more thank shoulder length ... Hair will not be contained by a swim cap. This produces a blind swimmer on open water whose bump into you because she cannot sight.

Sigh

Healthy big big breakfast

After a race weekend it is hard to get back to healthy eating.

Race weekends:
Eat what I want as long as I know it won't negatively impact my race day tummy.

After race weekends I go back to my high protein diet & necessary added carbs for workouts.

Carbs for workouts.
35g per hour workout.( more than a slice of whole grain 100calorie bread) usually these are processed because they are easier to find & fast to eat.


Here is a snapshot of today's breakfast. There is no way u can eat it all in one seating. So I will come back to it after doing a minor chore... Dishes.

First I eat my high proteins ( to sustain me during the day) which are the 3 egg whites one yolk scramble. 3/4 cup cottage cheese. Then I will come back for the carbs. Protein added oatmeal apple chai sugar free & 1 small apple. I probably will not eat all of the oatmeal.
