Rest day! I had headaches for 2 nights in a row. My body is screaming for a time out! You got it!
August 30, 2010 Monday
Supposed to be a bike day. I am taking the day off. I was planning to wear my new neon colored jersey, but I will save it for Saturday's simulation! I will bring the bike to the shop today. Also, massage time!!!
August 31, 2010 Tuesday, Swim Day: We met at the Rio rancho Aquatic Center. I wanted to swim half freestyle and half breast stroke. But it just ruined my breathing. So, stayed with the breast stroke. Before the meet, I drove the bking route again. This time, I took some pictures.

September 1, 2010 Wednesday, Run Day: Well, this is probably a low point in the preparation for the race. I am tired. I could hardly get through the day at work. I do not want to prepare meals either. So, I went to Yummi House for Cha-chiang Noodle for lunch. For supper, I went to Sweet Tomatoes. Yes, I am running low on budget. May have to live on instant noodles next week :( I will go to Defined Fitness tomorrow for the swim. I will need to practice a combo of breast and freestyle.
September 2. 2010 Thursday, Swim Day: I tried the combo, it does not work. I lost my breathing rhythm. So, I am running out of time to learn new tricks. I will stick with the breast stroke!!!!
September 3, 2010 Friday, Rest Day: Aaaaaaah, rest! Tomorrow is my unofficial triathlon! We are doing the whole thing! Well, I am ready. I can finish!

September 4, 2010 Saturday, Race Simulation: Well, I completed my unofficial first sprint Triathlon. 400 yards of swimming, 15 miles of biking and 3 miles of running! Lessons learned: 1. Once we set our mind to do something, it can be done! 2. I need to learn how to swim freestyle. 3. I need to learn how to get the water bottle in the bike and return it to the holder. 4. Pull up the zipper of the bike jersey half way. 5. For the first section of biking, take it real easy. 6. I need my water belt when I run.
