    Thanks for all your feedback on the course. I wish visors didn't have logos on them.

    Yesterday was my second run day and I'm not really sore at all today - a little tight in my hips, but that's it.

    Today is my first swim today. I'm sure I'll be feeling my back tomorrow.

    I can't believe I didn't see this until this morning. It's been a busy weekend.

    You can definitely train up to 13 miles running with your base. And you will likely have to do a run walk type of program. As long as you're not looking to do some blistering times on the swim and bike you'll be fine.

    I'm really excited for you. Keep us posted on how your training is going.

    Drat - I can't find my cloth swim cap. And who knew I had 4 one piece swim suits?

    The pool at the gym is kept at 83 degrees. The maintenance guy said it was happy medium for the lap swimmers and the water aerobics people. I did find an old latex cap. I think I bought in 1992.

    I honestly think I'll swim with no cap today. I switched to a cloth cap because I was getting too hot in pools that were 78 degrees. My hair is short enough that it shouldn't be too annoying. Unless of course it's posted that caps are required.

    I have short hair. When I'm in the indoor pool I don't wear a cap. When I'm outdoors, I wear a silicone cap. They're much more comfortable and a bit warmer than the latex.

    My swim didn't happen. I broke the strap to my goggles. I wear contacts so I kinda need the goggles. Friday I'll try again.

    Tomorrow is another run day. I'm going to up the mileage a bit.
