A few weeks post IM and on board for another one

Here is a list of races I would like to do:
Maybe some nordic ski races. Get my butt kicked by little kids. Nothing with a lot of pressure though.
National Championship Winter Triathlon- Looks like it is going to be at Homestake again this year. Not Sure on date. January?
Grizzly- For sure!!
BigHorn Canyon Triathlon- Same one we did in Lovell WY this year.
Wildflower- Still need to ask the boss about conference
If I do Rev3, then Bozeman Sprint? (it it happens again)
Rev3 Wisconsin followed by some time in Madison training on the course?? This might cost a lot and take some planning, but it would be a fun adventure. Or another thought would be to skip the actual Rev3 race and go to Wisconsin for a week or so for a training camp. I think it is worth it to know the course. My mom has some timeshare options and if this was flexible it could be affordable and comfortable. I could KOA it too though.
IM Wisconsin

That is as far as my thought process has gone this week.


This week- Not sure why running has seemed so hard. Haven't gotten much in.
Tuesday- Garage fit and Masters swim. I got demoted to the lower lane. It was kind of annoying because there were lots of new people and it was hard to figure out the pecking order. Not staying demoted. Going to the upper lane again.

Wed.- Well wasn't really planning on this, but jumped into the cross race that has now become a weekly series. Rode the mt bike which was probably faster since the course basically sucks. It was fun but not every week. More like a circuit race than a cross race. I was pretty pooped after. Got a couple of cool photos from Pascal Beauvais though.

Thursday
Garage fit again and then hmmm. I think all I did on Thursday was garage fit. Can't remember what went on though. My ass was really sore for the next few days though. I think I was sort of tired from the race the day before.

Friday- Swam at lunch. Swam for an hour. Just did sets of 300's of things I could think of. Lots of drills and a few harder efforts.

Saturday- Had to do a little work and then Erik and I went on a ride on our cross bikes. Smoke had really settled in and it wasn't a lot of fun. Didn't ride super hard. Total time ~2.5 hours.

Sunday- Masters swim. Hard workout. Got myself up in the next lane.
              Run- Ran up Sypes Canyon. I don't think I ever went there last year. I really like running in the fall. It sort of sprinkled on my all day which was so nice since the smoke was so awful the day before. Ran all the way to the T. I think it is 3.5 miles. Have never actually ran all the way there before. The trail is pretty steep and consistent.

Sunday evening: Pickled and canned some beets. I feel like a fat cow. Did two inches grow on my stomach? Okay, I am sick of this resting thing. Lets get going on something now.

Monday- Ran at lunch for an hour. Like running in the fall. Legs were sore from the trek up the mountain.
