To those who question our attendance of swim clinics, ironman clinics, how to get faster by moving your arm this way clinics, we say...
"We are going to spend the least amount of money possible on people telling us how to get faster." We have 17 hours. We have been slow and steady for 30+ years, no need to start the silly speedwork now.
Kelly and I also participated in our first 2 hour spin of 2010. First words to come out of both of our mouths, kind of in a jinx situation was, "I think I am going to try harder today since I don't have to run 13 miles tomorrow." Did we try harder? I think so.
We also learned at spin class: 1) Dawn can get through IM and a spin class with just 1 functioning pedal - because she is bad-ass. 2) Kelly can successfuly put on a bandana to ward off those tiny little fly-away hairs. 3) Our first massage of the year will be at the end of January (basically because if we do it any earlier, we'll have accomplished nothing so far. 4) We will partake in the Strong Kids 6 hour spin class (again, because we are bad-ass) 5) Our training dollars are set for the cash box: $5 anytime we swim, $.25 a mile for biking, $1.00 a mile for running. Magnificent Mile (or State Street) here we come!
On to our next adventure...
