It's Transition Day!

Today I make a fool of myself practicing transitions in my driveway. My son feels a yard sign is a good idea: Caution: Unstable Athlete Entering and Exiting Driveway at Random.

Very funny.

A friend I met through our neighbors is racing her first Ironman today in Lake Placid. I'm following it online. She's finished the 2.4 mile swim, and probably nearly all of the first leg (56 miles) of the bike, and it's only about four and a half hours into the race. After the second 56 mile bike she'll begin the marathon. I am in awe. Luckily, Lake Placid is much cooler (if also pouring rain) than it is here in Philly.

It's sooooo hot today. As a reward for all my hard work (and resulting lower times), I'll treat myself to a trip to the pool afterward.

You go, Carrie!!
