Prior to the Houston weekend, I met with Kyle for swim training. This was my first Triathlon since, and an opportunity to see how it had improved my swimming.
While I did go through the warmups that Kyle had taught me, other issues curtailed the improvement. Until it was too late, I didn’t realize that I had grabbed the wrong pair of goggles. Being unable to see the bottom lane line made for some “drunken” swimming and cut down the number of lengths I was able to get in.
After transition, I headed to the spin bikes. While it wasn’t as far as I wanted, it was still a solid ride.
The final piece was the treadmill run. Because of my vision, treadmills are always hard. There were a couple of times that I had to dramatically slow it down after almost tripping.
While it wasn’t what I had hoped for going in, it was a good starting point for the 2025 season.
Thanks to Scott for guiding for me, and to Coach Joe and the rest of the ET staff for all their help!
