Two months...

Yesterday actually was two months until 70.3 Chattanooga! I'm really getting excited about this race and the venue! It's not only my first long tri in a while (the last was Ironman Wisconsin in September 2013), it will get the state of Tennessee checked of my list! There are still 31 states I've yet to race in. And three weeks after this I'll get Michigan knocked out with this race with Lisa!

I've driven through Chattanooga several times on my way two and from Auburn, Alabama when going down with or to visit my son. I've always thought it was so cool as I was driving through. Don't believe we ever had a reason to stop there though. And speaking of my son, he now lives in Huntsville, Alabama and should be coming up to Chatty for race weekend as it is way closer for him that it is for me. So it will be nice to hang out  for a couple of days.

Training is going well. Next month I'll start swimming 2-3 times a week as opposed to once a week now. I'm on the bike twice a week and run twice a week now (in addition to lots of walks/runs with my dog) and may increase that. Or not. I really hope I can start riding outside though soon! So far I have one outdoor ride under my belt and several long trainer rides. I've also been consistently strength training. I have a fun set up in my garage so this makes it easy. Finally, I'm trying to keep up with good / better nutrition habits.

Two months from now I will have (hopefully) crossed the 70.3 Chattanooga finish line!

Happy and Healthy Training!
