January 27th- National Championship Winter Triathlon. I would like to practice riding my bike on snow this year!
MuleX and GASX a success. (Except we lost the keg for a few hours, turns out it was in Curry's garage. I think it is still there.)
Raced both days. Saturday, I just jumped on the bike. Didn't get much of a warm up. Rode one lap on the course. I like not training and then racing because I don't get nervous. But, I think I hate not training and not doing as well as I think I should. 4th both days. Worst place to be. Right off the podium. I raced on Sunday too. Got a better warm up. The course this day was a Lisa Curry course. Technical, punchy, and a few times with a little pucker factor. Fun racing, but not my forte. I was 4th by a long ways. Tired too. Monday my legs are tired. So is my brain.
Strider course only had 2 participants, but it was worth it.
Thanks Pascal, again, for the great photography
Jazzercise with Richard Simmons and the damn Mormon. He chased us around all day.
My hubby had lots of mechanical problems
The rest of the week has gone as planned. Not much to say about training. Thankful that MuleX is over and that Jenny's wedding is over. I feel kind of fat and have been afraid to step on the scale. I am excited to clean my house and get back to a schedule. This is terrible, but I am kind of excited for the time change because I kind of enjoy riding the trainer in the evenings. Also looking forward to some snow and some night skiing. Have a buddy for this year.
Had a meeting with a special sub-committee of the Recreation and Parks board today. We want to do a flagship project. After lots of discussion it sounds like we might focus on water recreation. Bogart pool is falling apart, so to alleviate some of the stress on the facility and provide Bozeman with some more water recreation we talked about bring in sand and revitalizing the East Gallatin Rec area. Make the swimming safer and the beach nicer. We are also going to build a splash pad (fountains etc.) in a different part of the city. The developer of Moonlight is on the committee. I think he has connections to lots of contractors etc. I am very excited about this project. Everybody on the committee is a lets get er done kind of personality. We might even try and develop a foundation for Recreation and Parks so that we can generate our own income based off of donations. (Not sure why I put this in here. You appreciate community development, right? Now I just need to figure out how to get paid for it. )
Monday- Good swim. Only 3 of us at Masters. 3500 total. Feels good to feel good doing 3500. Fun workout too. Main set- 100 IM on 2:15, 200 build on the 50 (4:00), 300 pull (6:00), 200 negative split (4:00), 100 IM (2:15) - Do this 2x. Second time on the pull I used paddles. That worked my arms. Was right on the intervals, so not much rest. I would stand up, take a few breaths, and go again.

Anyway, that seems to be all I have for now. Not a lot of focus, but getting there.
