Feeling like a triathlete - finally
I’ve finally has a great training week where I hit all of my scheduled workouts and all three sports. I’ve been feeling like a fraud because I couldn’t run and I was lazy on the bike.

I’m officially starting my “training” this week for my 70.3 in August with a sick day. Not a great way to start, but perhaps it’s good to get some time to myself to plan out training and get myself organized.
I’ve been pretty disappointed with my progress over the last few months, so I went back in one of my older entries that outlined my long-term plan to see how...
