5 LAPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I finally broke through to 5 laps straight today! I had been able to do only 2 in a row. Freestyle, back stroke, freestyle, back stroke. Today, it occured to me that I could do another back stroke if I wanted and maybe I'd be able to do one more freestyle. I tried it and it worked...I did 3 laps straight. Well, I figured if I could do 3 that way, surely I could do 5. I caught my breath and went for it! Thought I'd die, but I did it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tonight we rode (in the van) to the facility where the race will be held. Checked out the transition area, the running area and then rode the bike route. Over all, not to bad. Definitely some hills to tackle, but I think my training is preparing me well for it. That was encouraging!
