Bike shorts are yucky!!!

Let it be known that I can't stand wearing cycling shorts!!!!  There couldn't be anything more unattractive for me to wear!  And it feels like I've got a diaper between my legs too!  'nuf said!

Update on the pedals...i did finally get them figured out and even went out for a short ride the other day.

I joined a tri club this week - and went to Spin workout on Wednesday evening, and a running (track) workout last night....and they KICKED MY BUTT!  These guys/gals are all seasoned triathletes (many did ironmans last year!)....and here I am...never even having done one yet - and my goal (at this point) is to just a few measly sprint distances this year!

I am still somewhat recovering from a leg injury last week (almost 100%)....when i got wiped out by a dog on a trail run and came down hard with my quad landing smack on a rock....and this week having a bit of a bug of somesort....so that didn't help with my training this week...

but tomorrow is a REST DAY.....looking forward to that....one is all it takes...then I start getting antsy to do 'something!'

My swimming is 'slowly' progressing...I am just figuring out the mechanics and timing for the breathing...but I did manage to actually SWIM LAPS today!  albeit very slowly -and still with lots of breaks!  But I couldn't do that 3 weeks ago!

Hi there,

I found you through a search, and I bookmarked you! I just wanted to say congrats on your big weightloss and trying out your first tri I am jealous of your bike lol! I did a tri when I was 17 and LOVED it. I really want to get back into it too.

I am a Mom in the Langley area and I saw that you are a 'local' too. I am in the process of losing weight too. I just had my 6th baby almost 4 months ago.

I just wanted to pop on and say hi! Congrats and good luck!

HI Cathy - thanks so much for introducing yourself! SIX kids - WOW - I don't know what to say....my four are plenty hard enough!! (I am sure you get those types of comments ALL the time!). And I must say you look GREAT! (especially for having 6 kids!)

I actually grew up in Langley - right until grade 12 (MSS)....Took a quick peek at your blog too - will have to come back when I have more time - but looks great!
