I have to admit, I am starting to feel nervous about the big Arizona tri coming up. I am not looking forward to the mass swim start in that weird cement so-called-river. The last time I swam in open water, I had a panic attack, unrelated to the swim, but most likely made worse by it. And the bike, well, with all these cyclists around, it makes one feel pretty inadequate when it comes to cycling. The running, that's not stressful, but all those miles on asphalt and cement....ugh. So, those are some of my concerns and I think it's important to get them out there.

Today I did the above posted swim workout, then got on my bike for 90 minutes. I have a big training workout planned, if the weather permits. My legs have been feeling unusually tight and my shoulders are killing me! Back to yoga, I think. See why I don't have time to blog anymore?? I'm not even dating anyone!
