Weekly Workout Totals 05/19/2008-05/25/2008

Another nice, big training week is done. I didn't really race Triple T--I just got through it while having fun. I'm not sure I'm going to do a full-out race report--since I was solo this time, a lot of it was what was going on in my head, and if you've looked at the photos, you can sort of figure things out. My quads are still sore, but I don't need to walk downstairs backwards. I need to get some more sleep. I'm going to try and swim in a few minutes here and see how that works.

Oh yeah--how to pack for Triple T: gather up all your triathlon crap and put it in your car. Then put a ton of food in there. Then, if you are staying in a cabin, pack all your camping supplies except for tent, sleeping bag, lantern and Coleman stove. I think it was Mike who commented this weekend that you have to have done triathlons for a number of years before you can do Triple T properly, because you need to accumulate so much gear!

Tip of the Day: Rubber bands are called elastics in Canada. I did not know this until this weekend. Also, Twinkies are considered a banned substance in Canada.
