Time for an update...yesterday's long swim went very well. I got about 2.5 miles in and felt good. My goggles still tend to feel like cheese cutters on my face about an hour so yesterday I picked up some new TYR, wide view goggles that should be much more comfortable. I will try them out next week and I hope they work.Last night Jodee and I paid a visit to Gear West and got Jodee re-fitted on her bike - very cool. They set her up on a trainer and then set up a video to analyze her riding. It took about an hour and I think they made some HUGE improvements in how she'll ride. They changed everything from her seat height and angle to her stem height and the angle and length of her aero-bars, angle of her handle bars, etc. I think it will pay off over the next few months and most importantly over the 112 miles of the Iron Man. I made an appointment for next week for myself and I can't wait.
With the additions in the last week, we have now jumped ahead on our "expenses list" for the event. The new goggles, the bike fitting and new saddle, as well as picking up an old bike for Jodee's trainer have tacked on a nice new chunk of money to the list. I guess I can't complain too much...we hadn't had any additions to the expense list since 2008. Oh well!
Have a great weekend...I know I will. : )
