Ah, crap. My plan is to step up training for cycling for a duathlon the first week of April. But this weekend isn't a great start; the weather doesn't look dry/warm enough for me to venture out on the roads. After all, I am holder of the Big Cold Weather Weenie Award.

I'm getting some swim instruction from the local triathlete swim coach this weekend, so I should consider it a huge accomplishment that I actually dragged myself (kicking and screaming) into the pool. If you look at the topic menu on the right hand side, take note that there are NO swimming related posts yet. That's because I hate swimming. Why? Because I find it to be boring.

There are ways to fix that. Like running, I could make it a social sport by meeting the a.m. swim group. That would require getting up very early, an activity that most certainly earns me the Early Morning Wake-up Weenie Award. Also, I could focus more on interval training instead of simply getting in the pool and swimming X number of laps. Hopefully the swim coach will give me some pointers on that this weekend.
