DC Triathlon training

The Bees Knees

I've been having some mild issues with my right knee since starting to intensify my training for the DC Triathlon. I'm almost 100% sure it's due to the adjustments on my Cannondale Synapse.

I did my first long ride last Monday ~45-50 miles and the farthest 2 fingers in my left hand have been completely numb for about 2 days. I think it had something to do with the saddle positioning. I could feel my body sliding down a bit while I was at the 15 mile marker.

My hydration practices have been incredibly difficult to improve. It's been unusually humid this year and I'm still having serious dizzy spells after extended amounts of physical exertion. I'm increasing my hydration regiment at work to accommodate the weather.

New Tri kit is in!

I've purchased a couple items in time to prep for the DC Tri. I nabbed an aero-bottle system and bracket for my tri-bars and a race belt. I'm pretty psyched for my first tri of the year, even if it's just a sprint.

Awesome weekend

Had an incredible weekend. Got a serious bit of training completed (cycling/running) and I had a wonderful time at a party Saturday and Monday nights, followed by an excellent evening out with friends on Sunday - met some really interesting people, had a some intellectually stimulating conversation - you know good stuff.
