0.055 completed!

well, week one of eighteen is complete: 
4300 yards swimming
65 miles on the bike
21 miles on foot

feels great to start the training.  i was most worried about the swimming, but am really enjoying it.  felt quite sluggish each day around 3pm, but was able to get some information from a nutritionist to help my pursuit.  the advice seems to be working. (less bon bons per day)

one thing that was odd for me, was not trying to max out while lifting this week.  the training schedule only leaves one day free to lift and states that i should only lift about half the weight i normally would.  it was weird, felt like i was cheating on myself.  but after a few days in the pool, i understand why i can't be lifting the way i was.  

so, still pretty excited about this venture.  glad to know i have the support of so many to help me through. 

remember to always thank those that are willing to do anything for you, and return the gesture...
