Bit of a recovery week after hitting 12 last weekend. Not much to say about this one. It was hot.

Motivation. Neeeeeed motivation. Can someone please put their foot squarely on my ass?

Thanks! Yeah, I did fall off the face of the earth for a while. Between work and the weather, it's been a rough year. Just started a new job a few weeks ago, so hopefully things will calm down soon so I can enjoy the weather.

Yep...it was one seriously hilly SOB. I'm a bit slow getting a race report up, but I'll post a link to it when I do. But despite the torrential downpour, it went very well.

swim
Jackson County Tri - swim 644 m 00:11:32 28:49 pace
Super slow, but no panicking this time around. Felt like I got through the swim without expending much energy. Wish I would have pushed more though.

I read your blog. I am in the same boat you were a few months ago. I started swimming a week ago w/ hopes of my first tri in August. Congratulations. It looks like you did great. I have the same motto, just survive in the water and hope for a good bike and run.

The two things that I had to get past were: a mental barrier, and trying to have perfect form from the start. I'm not saying coach K isn't a good coach, but I made my breakthroughs on my own. I just couldn't get anything to click while I was trying to concentrate on doing specific things. Now I feel like I'm ready to go back and start working more on my form.

Hey Mark, I think I'm ready.......hope I'm ready! If I can pace myself during the run and keep my HR sub 170 I should do okay. I was thinking about doing the Tinman too again this year but its the weekend after IMKS, I think I'll wait and see how squirrelly I'm feeling! Branson is a qualifier for Kona isn't it?

If you ask me thats pretty salty for taking a few months off. Focus on the little goals and the big picture will come around. Nice work!
