7 days left

Went to swim again this morning at Promised Land beach. It was overcast today, but there were still a lot of families on the beach, people watching us curiously as we headed towards the water all decked out. . Today it was 4 of us swimming, two of us in wetsuits, practicing for next week's triathlon. The
other two in different stages of entertaining the thought of triathlon. The joke is that 2 of us are tapering while the other two of us are titrating - or in this case tri-trating.

There was a marked improvement for me from yesterday. Yesterday's pace was 15 minutes over the 1 hour time limit and today I was 4 minutes over. All I needto be is 5 minutes faster next week. All I need is a windless day next Sunday.

Theresa's bike had a flat today, so we had a hands on learning experience on how to change a flat. I was very happy about this. I felt like I was doing show and tell. The flat occurred at the most opportune moment - one week before the tri.. Now I no longer have to worry about my tire changing skills; though I hope I don't have to use them during a race!
