Today seems like a pretty good day so far. I feel engaged, and feel like what I'm doing is somewhat important here at work. Could be due to the fact that I just got a raise and a promotion, but I'll take whatever motivation I can get.
Looks like all the rain is past us, although we needed it. I also get to leave work a little early this afternoon to go to the Texas Iron group training. We're working on bike and bike transitions tonight, so I'm excited to be working in my favorite discipline.
I have also developed a major obsession with upgrading the handlebars, aero bars, and brake levers on the race machine. I recently got the latest Excel Sports catalog and they are all cheaper than I expected. Still more than I have but hey...
Hoping to have a good weekend. Have some serious training to do on the bike and on the run, but I hope to be able to get in an easy swim and some sun at Barton Springs. I'm registered for my first Olympic distance triathlon of the season next weekend, so need to hit the training just right. It's one of those damn events where they make you leave your pricey bike outside in transition with them overnight. Don't like the elements and leering eyes on my machine.
I'm going to watch Darlene run the Capitol 10K Sunday morning, so that should be fun. Then it's out on the bike to pound away.

Not a great race, but very informative as to where I need to focus my training going forward. Didn't have that zip on the bike and definitely was flat on the run. Looks like lots more long intervals and tempo sessions are in my future.
