Getting ready for RNR Marathon San Diego – on June 6th

Getting ready for RNR Marathon San Diego – on June 6th

I flew down to L.A. last night from SFO, and I am here right now at my sister’s place.  We are getting ready to drive down to San Diego, then we run the RNR SD Marathon on Sunday.  I think I’ve trained with the minimum training required, but I’m hoping for a miracle on Sunday. 



Vineman Showdown – San Rafael, CA

This is my first tri for this season!  And I am still such a weak person, maybe some training would have helped…  The Vineman Showdown is 400m swim, 9 mile bike, and 3 mile run and starts at 4pm – yes, an afternoon start time.   This fine Saturday afternoon was nice and sunny in San




Lap swim – 4/16

So I have a sprint triathlon tomorrow afternoon, yes the start time is 4pm, and I havent swam since 2 weeks ago.  I thought I’d go for one last swim this evening, and time the 400 yds straight swimming, no rest.  Below is the whole workout: 200 yd warm-up 400 yd free timed – 10:52




Spin class -60 minutes

Rode 13.8 miles in 60 mins  through Spin class. I forgot my HRM again! Anyway, this workout went well, we did hills in the beginning, ie., I increased the resistance, maybe too much because my quads were sore after! If only I can do the same thing while road biking…



Short run to pass time

I count this as training.  So the Silicon Valley Triathlon Club (SVTC) had a meeting last night (Monday 4/12) and I got to the place of the meeting at Sports Basement by 6-ish pm – I thought the meeting started at 6.  Well, it doesnt start until 7pm.  So I changed in the dressing room
