More travel

Well it looks like I'll be traveling more for my job. In 3 weeks, I'll be going to Rhode Island. I hope it's not super cold but it will probably be snowing. I'll have to time my training to deal with such travel. I trained for a marathon when I was traveling internationally. It was tough but not impossible. I haven't swam in a couple of days and we'll how my swim on Sunday goes. Maybe my muscles will be all built up and I'll just hammer out some fast times and feel great doing it.

The cycling this week has felt pretty good but not great. It's weird as early this summer I was able to ride for a short distance/time pretty fast but not now. My body is all about just sitting at a nice tempo. Overall, it's okay because come spring there will be time to really start pushing some fast intervals.

It seems a lot of the top wetsuits are going on sale because the 2008 models are coming out. I should be able to get a nice 2007 for almost half price. I might buy a Nineteen suit, Blue Seventy, or Zoot. I wonder if it really will help streamline my body in the pool/water. Of course I won't be able to use a wetsuit at the Florida Half. I could if I didn't want to be considered for qualifying. I don't think I'll do that well because people's bike legs will be super fast compared to mine. I'd probably be able to hold maybe 21-22mph while the top cyclists will be well over 23. I'll make up some time on the run as I expect to go under 90 minutes. I still need to find a tri-suit for this event.

At least the weekend is upon us and the weather is supposed to be good.
