The title says it all. Less than two weeks till the Vineman. I have to assume that I can’t screw up all my training in two weeks. I haven’t run in four days, but I plan on getting out later today after a bike ride. I finally got my aerobars on my bike, but haven’t had a chance to ride it yet. Claire and I rode into work and home on Saturday. I had Mathilda in the trailer and we rode the flat way. The way home was into a tough headwind.
It is Monday morning now. I just ordered myself a couple of pairs of Pearlizumi running shoes. I know that you are not supposed to change shoes with only a week to go, but my current running shoes are all off-road shoes. I figure I will be able to get in a couple of short runs in them before the race.
I still haven’t tried on my old wetsuit for the swim. It seems like it makes my shoulders sore, probably from the lack of flexibility. It would be nice if the water was warm enough that they would not allow wetsuits, but I think it would have to rise a couple of more degrees for that. I thought about trying to borrow a “farmer John” wetsuit with out sleeves, but haven’t been able to locate one yet.
