I did 750 meters according to my Garmin 910xt, but it didn't feel very far so I am not sure it's correct. It was the first time using my watch in the water so I will have to double check it. For my first day, I was pleased enough. It took about 20 minutes and that was with liberal breaks at the end of each lap. If the Garmin is right, I think I can probably do the swim portion better than I thought. I could definitely use some technique work with the swim, but I guess just getting out there in all my chubby, old lady glory is a good start.
After my swim, I ran 4 miles. These days, 4 miles is nothing. I did 13.1 on Saturday and for the first time, I feel like CRAP afterwards: shaky, nauseated, weak. I'm not sure if it was a nutrition thing or what, but it was pretty awful. I have my training schedule for the next 4 weeks and it's all multi-sport work-outs. Swim & Run on Monday & Friday, Bike & Run on Tuesday & Thursday, and my long Bike ride with Swim on Wednesday. Saturdays are my long run days with Sunday as my much deserved sit-on-my-ass day.

The good news is that my Zainie started 6th grade today (Wil's school started to weeks ago) so both kids are officially IN SCHOOL!! This makes scheduling work outs a million times easier an hopefully, I can hit it hard over the next few weeks.
It's 27 days until the big event. I gotta make these days count!
