Long Overdue Update

Man, it's been a while. However, I'm pleased to report that I'm still training for the big tri in August. I'm not doing a whole lot of running, but I've been cycling and swimming like a maniac. I had my bike fit adjusted the other week, and they made two small changes (moved the seat forward a wee bit, put the handlebars at a more downward angle) that have made a huge difference. I couldn't believe it, since the changes were so small. I'm pretty happy with it, though. Now I just have to learn to feel comfortable eating and drinking on the bike (and to keep pedaling while I do that!) and I'll be good to go.

The other exciting thing is I took the plunge and bought a wetsuit. It really does make a pretty significant difference when you swim in it, so that'll be nice. Also nice is it totally insulates you from the chill of the lake, which when you live in a place like Chicago? Is huge. I definitely need to get more open water swimming in over the next month before I feel totally comfortable in the lake, but I think I'll be OK.

Hopefully I'll be able to get back into updating this a bit more regularly - things have just been so busy lately, it's been ridiculous. The important thing is even if I'm not always blogging about it, I am getting my workouts in (even if I have to wake up at 5 a.m. to do it).
