I DID IT!!!!
YES! I know all that training paid off, 'cause I had a lot of fun. I finished strong and with a smile on my face. My goal was to finish in under 3 hours... I did it in 2:44:45. I'll post more later...
T-rithlon minus 1 day
Almost time! I'll be honest here... I've got butterflies. Wondering what the hell I got myself into. The only training I did today was get my haircut. Looks fast :)

T-rithlon minus 4 days
Our final group training Jog In The Park was today. I'll try to post some video of the crazy/drunk/drugged lady that smelled like she'd been eating dirty diapers and kept yelling about playboys while our training coach was giving tips on what to do and what not to do during the race.

T-rithlon minus 8 days - Part 2
Ultimate all afternoon (sorry about that, baby). Had 2 good games, though they both ran long. Train ride also took forever.
T-rithlon minus 8 days
Group Ride this morning. Had another 10K race today in the park... 8000 people all bunched together makes for a difficult ride, so I left early.
T-rithlon minus 9 days
got in a park run with Jen this evening. She went one way, I went the other, and we met in the middle.

T-rithlon minus 10 days
Hockey tonight. I got a BS penalty for skating next to a fat kid as he was falling down - the ref waved off our goal and put me in the box for tripping. Had some great scoring chances but I just couldn't put it in ... very frustrating night!

T-rithlon minus 11 days
Group training this evening was a 5 mile park run at 10K race pace. Thank god it cooled off a bit. Talked to a tri-athlete who was born in Iowa, went to school at USF, and then moved to NYC... all 30 years before I did it.
T-rithlon minus 12 days - Part 2
Swam intervals for a 45 mins. Had to ask the lifeguard to net out the band-aid I spotted... our pool is nasty!

T-rithlon minus 12 days
Got in 30 miles this morning (5 laps). Felt good but MAN it was hot out! Gonna get over 100 degrees today. Hopefully the A/C is pumping at work.
T-rithlon minus 13 days - Part 2
Ran on the fancy dancy touchscreen Treadmill tonight... After half an hour at a 8 min mile pace I wanted to slow down; however, the touchscreen stopped working. Felt like Bill Murry in Lost In Translation. I think I did 8 miles, but I can't be sure since the Emergency Stop clears all stats from the screen.
T-rithlon minus 13 days
Less then 2 weeks left! Had a really fun ride in the park this morning with Jen. We rented a Tandem (Two person) Bike. It took a few minutes to get the hang of it :) Now if I can only talk her into doing the Triathlon with me on one of those!
T-rithlon minus 14 days - Part 2
1 hour for 110 laps in the pool... That's over a mile. Makes for a HUNGRY dinner.
T-rithlon minus 15 days
Went for a ride in the morning. Wanted to do 4 laps... could only talk my legs into 3.
T-rithlon minus 16 days
Off work early, so I thought I'd go swim in the pool at the park... ERRRRRR! Pool's closed. So I decided to run instead. I think I got 3 miles before I had to lay down and take a nap. Not sure how long I slept, but I felt better afterwards. Later I got in an evening game of Ultimate. Not my best performance. Of the three times I touched the disk, I had a stall out and a pull that went literally 100 yards out of bounds. Hope my weekend gets better.

T-rithlon minus 18 days
Group training tonight. Ran 6.4, most at race pace (8 minute mile). Strangely, Running clockwise around the park is a lot different then running counterclockwise. The weather was perfect though.
T-rithlon minus 19 days
I tried to swim at the Lasker Swimming Pool/Skating Rink. They close at 7pm and I got there at 6:58 (seriously). So I ran a 10K in my swim trunks instead.
T-rithlon minus 20 days
HOCKEY PLAYOFFSSSS!!!
Had a fun game. We came damn close to winning; we were ahead 2-1 going into the third. However, the goose pulled 2 out of their flock and took the game 2-3. Had a lot of fun and it was a great season.
