So my tri is coming up right around the corner. It's a mini triathlon. 250 swim, 9 mile bike (or 8, I'm not sure), and a 2 mile run. That is enough for me for the first one. Last week I went to the Y and I did a 2.3 mile run, 1100 yard (not continuous) swim, then a 6ish mile bike. It was nice, it wiped me out a bit. So I just exercised like normal and then today I went back to the Y and did a 9 mile bike and a 2 mile run just so I could see how it would feel to have the jello legs going into the run (I've always run first and I've been worried about the transition backwards). It was surprisingly not bad at all. It was almost easier to run. Running is my weak spot. Physically I am fine. Mentally is another story. I get so BORED when I run. I absolutely have to have music if I am running alone. If I have a partner to talk to about interesting things, that is another story. For example, I struggle getting a half mile done when I am by myself no music nothing... but I can run a 5k no problem when I have someone to do it with. It is totally mental and I know that. I try to tell myself that when I am struggling. Sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't.
Anyway, when I was doing my workout today, I was sweating an unusual amount. I usually just glisten (ahhh sounds so nice, right?), but today it was full on dripping sweat to where my hot pink shirt looked like a purple color all over. It was really unusual for me. But I decided that I need to invest in a headband of some kind. Not only to keep my flyaways intact (they are pretty bad) but to catch the sweat from my forehead. My problem is that every headband I've ever tried always slips back on my head. I've looked at a few and I will just have to purchase one and try it out. They promise to not slip. We'll see about that!
