Another triathlon last weekend. This one was the Olympic distance, which is a 1500 meter swim (About a mile), 40K bike (25 miles), 10K run (6.2 miles). I finished under my goal time, but that time was adjusted on Saturday afternoon by about 20 minutes when I got hit in the leg with a wayward drive on the golf course. I have a nice bruise about the size of a softball on my thigh, so I got that going for me... which is not very nice. In addition to what looks like the Northern Lights on my thigh, my tailbone still hurts like hell so getting off the bike to run more difficult than it normally is in a triathlon. I can tell that physically I'm so much stronger than I have ever been though, because endurance wise, I was perfectly fine throughout the whole race. I'm not going to ride or run at all until this weekend to try to give my tailbone a little chance to hopefully recover, because we're riding 62 miles on Saturday, and I want to feel during the ride.
I was only half joking with Jenni yesterday in CVS when I took a couple steps toward the checkout counter with a rubber donut to sit on.
