BRRRRRR IT'S COLD
Thankfully the water at the YMCA wasn't.

Yesterday was a pretty tough workout so today I thought I would take it easy. Well, I stand corrected. Swimming isn't easy.
Today's swim workout was a bit of a change from running and lifting, but it's nice to mix it up every now and then.
My friend Rendy and I talked the other day. She called me to tell me that she signed up for the Buffalo Trails Duathlon in Maysville again for the second year in a row. I am very familiar with this race having lived in Maysville and Pete competing in it in 2001, plus our souvenir...Riley:)
Anyway I decided that I am going to do it as well. I even booked a room at the French Quarter last night. Here's the catch. It's an optional Duathlon or a Triathlon. Since I have been wanting to do a triathlon for ever my thought is that this may be the one.
I am not a swimmer. I like water, but don't love it. I can swim well enough to save my life or at least I hope so. I don't have the first clue about technique, but I do have a husband who could train me. So here's my thought. I can try swimming and see how it goes and make my decision closer to the registration deadline. I may have to pay an extra ten dollars, but it's a little extra I am willing to sacrifice.
So, if your out there and your reading my blog ........please pray for me that I don't chicken out of the swim. Pray that if I do swim I don't catch anything from the Ohio River. Yes I said the Ohio River. Please pray for my safety.
I have over 3 months to prepare myself for this race. I just hope I can do it.
