Update

Yes, I'm lagging on blog updates. Sorry... Since the last blog I've run a 9 minute mile at the 1-mile time trial, skipped an ocean swim since I was worn out from Las Vegas, and purchased a water bottle that sits between the bike handle bars so I can drink and keep both hands on the bike - genius! Tomorrow is our practice triathlon and our last big workout before the event (that's what I'm now calling the race, an event - much less pressure that way). We're meeting before sunrise to get set-up and the workout starts at 7:30. We'll swim 1/2 mile, ride 12 miles and run 3 miles. That is just about half the Lavaman distances. I am hoping to do this workout in less than 2 1/2 hours. I am REALLY hoping to make that time. The event in Hawaii is twice the distance and will be about 90 degrees, so I'll need to more than double the time of this workout to project my time at the Lavaman event. I don't want to exercise in 90 degree heat for more than 5 hours :) I'm pretty sure all of the beer will be gone by then. I'll post a new entry after the workout and let you know how it went. Thanks for your support!
