One of Hubbard Training System's loyal clients, Liz, will be competing in the Carmel Sprint Triathlon this Sunday. She has been training hard for this event and I know will do well.
Well I did it and the rain basically stopped during the race, just a little windy. Still overall not to bad with the weather. I did better than last year by only 1:30 minutes so did not reach my goal.... I guess I will have to do it again next year and reach that 5 minute goal. The swimming was a little messed up this year. I think the timing was off and some swimmers had no idea what their times were so we all backed up in the pool trying to get around them, which is a little hard to do with lane lines in. Still was only 40 seconds slower than last year on that part. The rest was my left knee that I messed up the week before when hiking at Cumberland falls State Park. The knee mainly held out for the race, but was uncomfortable. Still swelling and uncomfortable today. I know quite compaining. Next year hopefully all joints will be well oiled and working well. Thanks everyone for your support. Later Liz.
Liz, I think it's great that you competed! goal or no goal reached, you still finished - and better than last year - and with a bum knee no less!!! So many kudos to you. Take care of that knee! Patience is waiting for you...:-o) (how's that for a paradoxical, oxymoronic statement???)

Thanks Dan. I will post when done tomorrow. Hoping the rain holds off till after the race, or is a very light drizzle to cool me off:) Later Liz.
Go, Liz, I'm proud of you.
