Well, I finished my first tri of the year yesterday. It wasn't pretty, but considering the lack of training and the fact that I tried to talk myself out of it Saturday night, I am happy.
My partner kicked my butt, but what can you do. The cycle was the hardest thing I have ever done. Felt like I was on a constant up an down roller coaster, and I my legs about gave out. I was riding past guys and girls that had to get off of the bike to make it up some of the hills, and I honestly thought I was going to have to do the same.
I am again motivated to get after these, and I have already decided I want to do at least one more, probably 2 before the end of this season. Laura was a wonderful cheerleader, but she now wants to buy a cowbell.
I guess that's it for now, but I am getting back on the triathlon horse!

2 Weeks to Get Going
Well, we have no kids in the house for 2 weeks, and as miserable as that seems for us, we have decided we are going to have our own version of fitness 2 a days. I actually have a triathlon this weekend, so I am hoping this will help me get ready to finish the race on Sunday.
Laura and I are going overboard while the kids are at Granny Camp in Arkansas and Dallas. Our food is all healthy and we are both getting back into big workouts. I actually worked out twice today and hope to do it tomorrow. It's the only day this week I didn't have meetings all day, so I grabbed a lunch time run and an after bike. Not great, but a great way to get back into it.
Today I ran into an old friend, who has had a great weight loss experience similar to mine. We were talking about his brother who is heading down a very dangerous path and we don't know the best way to help him. I am hoping I can find a way to break through and help him realize that being the Yes man for everyone to go drinking and eating with is fun until you look up one day and your health is in critical place. I know he can do it, it's just trying to find the way to motivate him.
I am hoping in this 2 weeks to get into a habit of blogging daily again. I will keep trying. Going to sleep to get my first work out in before I drive to College Station for the day.
