The Past Work Outs!

2008-01-28T19:32:00.000-08:00

Well i have been swimming every Tuesday, Thursday, and sometimes Sundays. But this Sunday I rode on the bike for 45 minutes. My dad and I had a wonderful conversation. So he asked me, "Whos your favorite teacher?" and I said "Oh Mrs. Hendrix, the art teacher." and then like 5 minutes later a lady that looked like her was heading to the locker room. And we are still on the bike. And after 5 minutes that lady came out of there.....it was Mrs. Hendrix!! I told my dad and he laughed and said "Oh! That lady was like almost right behind you." and we were even talking about her too. [but more description]. and I was really embarrassed. Then I looked back and Mr. Hendrix[a 6th grade teacher from last year was there[but has no relation to Mrs.Hendrix]]. So today, in art I talked to her about it and she doesn't pay attention to her surroundings when she is there[and she is pregnant!!] Our class was very excited about that because a lot of teacher either had a new baby or is pregnant. Anyways....back on subject....i rode like around 16 miles on the bike and I will be swimming tomorrow[Tuesday, 29th i think]

Today..

2008-01-20T16:38:00.000-08:00

So, today i went to the gym with my dad. To begin the exercise, we went on the bikes for only 10 minutes. Then we headed for the pool. The pool today was so so cold. It was 75 degrees, but we got used to it after a long time. And i did 500 yards in the pool. I also did 100 yards non-stop. But that includes in the 500.
I will probably be just swimming Tuesday with my dad.

Thursday and the future!! I=D

2008-01-15T17:00:00.000-08:00

So I just started training again. All I did was swim and i did 200 yards in a short time, 30 minutes. I raced my dad 3 times and I beat him each time. One race was with kicking and stroking, I beat him bad! On the second race, we used just our arms, I won by a quick second. And the last race, we used just our legs and it was tiring but I did my best, and I won by a mile!! My dad said that once he got like a foot out into the water, he didn't move. He kicked very hard but still nothing. We had a great tome.

So, in maybe June I will be doing my second triathlon. I'm so excited, but we are training really hard for this one because for my very first triathlon, I wasn't ready at all. Then in, I think, like August my dad and I will do one together in Nebraska. I'm also excited for that too.
I will keep up with my blogging this time!

i haven't been training for so long but my dad and I are gonna go train this week! i have been walking and went biking once last week!

So Excited!!

2007-07-16T22:09:00.000-07:00

OK so I'm now on the National Triathlete thing for new triathletes!! I was so excited that my tri story was on the site. Now people can see I did one! My dad was smiling a lot!

My very First tri!!! ♥

2007-07-14T15:09:00.000-07:00

My first tri was the hardest thing I probably ever done!! I was OK till I had to get in the water and started swimming, then I got really nervous. I was the last person in the pool.

Then I went on my bike portion. The people said that it would be pretty flat, but it wasn't. It was down hill when you first started then it was all up hill when you had to turn around! I had to do four laps, I was really tired. When you drive the course it looks sort of easy but when you really get on it, it's really hard!

Then the run, when I first got off my bike I had very wobbly legs and then I headed out. I was lacking on energy, I felt as if I was going to vomit, and I really needed some water. When I took a little bit of the energy gel stuff, I was gonna throw up (literally) but I didn't. I had to do two laps of the run! A very sweet girl, named Hahna, she walked with me on the run. She was done already but it wasn't her first one and she started before my group. On the 2nd lap my sister and Maylice (the French student) ran/walked with me. I had just barely enough energy to run across the finish line. I was the very last person to cross it. But that's not the focus, it's that I finished!

For the transition I had a list of what to do in order, but I didn't need it. My Dad was so excited, maybe even more than me (just kidding). After the race we went home, my parents took a very long nap, I took a shower, and then we went out to lunch. We went to Sweet Tomatoes to celebrate my finishing!

Now I can say that I'm a Triathlete!

Tomorrow!

2007-07-13T11:40:00.000-07:00

Tomorrow is my tri and I'm so excited and a little nervous. Today I'm going to pick up my packet thingy then look at the course for biking and maybe running. Then, my Dad and I will train a little then practice the transitions. I'm going to go to bed really early cause we are going to wake up at 5:00. After the tri I get to pick where to go for dinner to celebrate me finishing the triathlon.

This week a foreign student will be staying at our house. She is from France and she knows English. So, she will be cheering me on at the tri! She is very polite and shy but she is getting comfortable with us so far. I think she is having a great time!!

I will tell you about my tri later on.

My Daddy Did It!!!

2007-07-10T13:21:00.001-07:00

My Dad did so great on the tri! Before, he said that if just got though the swim and bike he would be happy but, he did the whole thing. We were very proud! The bike part was very hard it was very very hilly. It's pretty much non-stop hills! At the end of the bike there was a huge steep hill. We called it the HILL OF DEATH!! He walked up it, most of the people did. When he went down it he said he was going like 38 miles per hour. It was pretty sweet! Then we headed back home. Once we got there we got Annie, she was jumping like crazy. She was so happy to see us. She would be in the basement in a huge cage thingy for almost the whole day!! We were glad we where finally home after almost a two day drive!

Sick!!

2007-07-03T09:38:00.000-07:00

I haven't been writing on my blog for so long, I'm sorry. Well, I really haven't been train 'cause I've been sick. My voice has been going out, head aches, and throwing up. So, I feel really bad. I'm resting till I get better.

oops!!

2007-06-22T12:05:00.000-07:00

Ok I'm so sorry that I haven't written any thing in so long.
On Tuesday, I did 10 min. of walking and 10 min. of jogging. Then, My dad and I went swimming, I did 750 yards. I was so tired after that was about to fall asleep in the car ride to my house which is only 10 min. away.
On Wednesday, I did 10 min. of walking and 10 min. of jogging.
On Thursday, I did 10 minutes of walking, 10 minutes of jogging and stretching before and after the 20 minutes. I also did some sit ups and the chair thing ( its when you lean agaist the wall and pretend to sit in a chair). I was very proud cause I did all of those things with out being told. Then, My sister and I washed my dog. I had the hardest job, holding her. It was hard cause she is big and the water is really cold which she is trying to get away. Then at 8 o'clock i had a volleyball game. We won 2 out of 3 games. I was really lonely cause my only friend at volleyball wasn't there, she is in Arizona, so i was quiet shy.
Today I have volleyball practice which my goal is to make a friend today during practice!

Today

2007-06-05T11:17:00.000-07:00

So, yesterday I did around 750 yards of swimming. Today, I had off. It was so wonderful I got to sleep in and just chilax( chill and relax into one word ). Then some friends are going to come over and we are going to have a slumber party. We are also going to pull a all nighter!! It's going to be so much fun! ♥
