This was my first run since the 10K last Sunday. Boy, that race really whipped me good. I was so drained the two days afterwards. Racing certainly is different from running. Got in a few bike rides this week and a bit of swimming. Overall it was more or less a recovery week, which I really think I needed anyway. Drove up to Village Bikes yesterday for an adjustment on Pixie. I was having a lot of discomfort in between my scapulae when riding. We removed the stock 70mm stem and switched it for a 100mm stem which stretched me out a bit (short legs, long torso girl here). I'm doing a long ride tomorrow so hopefully the problem has been solved.
Did a bit of shopping this week. The two triathlons that I have coming up are traditionally wetsuit legal. Although with the amount of warm weather we've been having lately, I'll believe that when I see it. Nevertheless, I wanted to make sure that I was prepared. So, I purchased two wetsuit pieces from De Soto Sport. After speaking with company rep. Chuck, I ended up with the Speedtube 5 and Speedvest. He was familiar with many of the races that I intend to do down here (like St. Anthony's) and with just how cool (non-cool) our water gets. I think those two pieces are great choices. Here's my set up... on a De Soto model, of course. :o)
I just love working with small companies like De Soto. The customer service at both was absolutely top notch. I will definitely continue to purchase from both of these vendors.
I have a swim with Sondra scheduled for later this afternoon, so I need to refuel, rehydrate, and rest. Thank goodness the bulk of my work is done for today.

Wow, could you send some of that heat up here? We are currently standing at about 44 degrees with rain. I am supposed to do that Breast Cancer ride in the morning but with the rain and cold, I may pass and go to spin instead. I am thoroughly disappointed.
Love the gear you invested in! I can't wait to get more aquainted with triathlons and purchase some fun stuff next year!
