Today my husband and I went to the lake that the elderly couple showed us yesterday. We did some open water swimming, or at least attempted. It did not go well. The winds made for some big waves, and caused me to really doubt my abilities in the swim portion of the upcoming event. I am hoping that with a few more open water swims I can build up enough confidence and reduce my anxiety about this first leg of the tri! After swimming, we did one loop around the lake-2.5 miles. Later in the afternoon, my husband and I went to the local Y, and did about six miles on the trainers there. The tri is less than two weeks away, and I wish I felt more confidence at this point. Let's hope for a good night of rest and some good days of training. |
