Monday Miscellany

I *just* got an email moments ago announcing a spring triathlon event in my area, with an interesting twist: "Our event is called Dash, Splash & Push, and it involves 3 mile run, 300 yard swim and Push Ups"

You're kidding me?!? Run, Swim, and then...no bike, but Push-ups?!?!? I definately need to check into this. I wonder what criteria they have for the push-ups. My curiosity is piqued.

Since yesterday was March 1st and I wanted to set myself up to start swimminga gain, I made it a point to actually get into the pool yesterday for the first time in months. Yowza! Swimming is harder than I remember.

This morning, I proceeded to wake up with sniffles and all sneezy. Wonderful. Get over the latest injury and catch a cold or something. Didn't stop me from going to the gym, but I didn't put the same focus and energy into it as I usually do.

Oh, and I tested the freaky frog feet in the hot tub yesterday. They are going to be brilliant as water shoes. Absolutely brilliant!!

That's all for now.

  2. that does sound like an interesting Tri....pushups? I would die after doing just one.

  3. Now that is an intersting twist. I know there is a running race that includes doing bench press. I suppose if you can combine x-country skiing and shooting, you can combine almost anything into an athletic even.
