| Best kits ever! @bettydesigns |
So we just go from today. On being crazy, manic or something other than balanced. How I am a Libra I don't know and don't really follow horoscopes but it is sort of amusing.
Strengths: Cooperative,diplomatic, gracious, fair-minded, social
Weaknesses: Indecisive, avoids confrontations, will carry a grudge, self-pity I am not indecisive, I seek out, okay not really, but do not avoid confrontation, I dont carry grudges and self pity- not for me.
Libra likes: Harmony, gentleness, sharing with others, the outdoors how many think gentle when my name comes up, 0. Sure I like to share and I love the outdoors
Libra dislikes: Violence, injustice, loudmouths, conformity um who likes violence, injustice and loudmouths? what sign is that - conformity, not really.

I digress.... so I am 100% healthy! fracture healed, no knee issues and not residual damage from my fall! My swim is good, bike is awesome, so much so I crushed a trainer workout this week and was feeling like, well I would say Lance Armstrong, but that would be saying I was feeling like a big ass cheater and doper, I was feeling, see coming up with a professional cyclist that is clean is not easy, so lets just say I was feeling badass. Then coach chimes in NOT with " way to kick ass and crush those watts", but with "why did you ride so hard?" I know I know as a coach, but as an athlete more is better - right? (said no coach ever) Reign it in. Best reply from coach " Bike power is like a nuclear weapon: Good to have, but you use it only when you need it. " OK so I launched it .... In any case bike is good!
The run, here I am again, seems like every year, playing catch up on the run, Last weekend when everyone, okay some friends, athletes and competitors, were knocking out the PS 1/2 Marathon I ran 8 miles and really could not have run a mile more. 8 miles - and we are how close to O'side. And so the spiral started, I am out of shape, slow, will never be ready, I suck. Just like that. If my Training Peaks logs were released, the men in white coats would show up at my door, Saturday " great ride, hit the power, feeling awesome. Sold run off the bike" Sunday " shoot me, I will never be ready to race O'side" Maybe my head is more of a mess than my run.
My final word on this is I am glad I don't coach me.

Palm Springs was a blast!! 7 girls, one house and hours of fun. We biked and ran (some more than others as you already know), but we cooked, watched the Olympics, critiqued the Olympians and laughed a LOT. Saturday afternoon was great - sitting, laying around with Normatecs and laptops and chilling out. The group was a combo Nytro racing buddies and athletes I coach. No boys, but we have have chatted about them for a minute or 2. It was the kind of weekend that makes you LOVE triathlon. Training alongside my athletes is fantastic. I am blessed to have so many great women in my life!
