NYC Triathlon

I received a phone call from the Aquafor NYC Triathlon this week.  Yes, a phone call.  They were doing some media coverage on the event.  I asked if perhaps they had the wrong number, as I had no idea why they would be calling me for any "media" information.  LOL.  All of a sudden, I'm semi-famous.  More like infamous.  But anyway.......

They told me that the race is 19 days away, are you excited?  Um...sure, if excitement comes in the form of being terrified, then sure I'm excited.

I have had the worst preparation for this race.  I am not going to lie.  I've yet to get out into the open water & I haven't done any brick workouts.  It was 98 degrees here in NJ & instead of going to the gym last night I went shopping for dog food.  How's that for preparation?  & no, I didn't even carry the 50 lb. bag of dog food to the car, I had someone else do it.  Lazy.

So for the next 15 or so days, no time off.  Brick workouts & lots of weight lifting.  Ha ha ha I'm laughing as I type this.  I hate weights.  Oh well.  What can you do?  Take it one day at a time & pray that the current in the Hudson is quick, so my swim portion is easy peasy.  I keep saying to myself, I swam from Alcatraz last year, I can swim 3/4 of a mile in NYC, right?  Right.

Here we go............
