TIME TRIAL #2

Coach gave us a head up on Tuesday that this mornung would be a time trial to compare to February. Instant anxiety set in.

Why do I hate time trials?

• One of the reasons that I have not trained with a group before is because I am slow at whatever I do. It's tough to have everyone waiting for you.
• Another reason is the same reason that I hate doing a 5K race. I panic and worry that I won't make the distance if I go too all out.
• It is also hard to come face to face with a number on the speed that I swim.
• It's like taking a test and forgetting everything that you know.

I don't know my exact times for the 200 and 2(100) but I don't think I was really any faster. I tend to overthink these things. It goes back to expectations. I know that my strength is not to be fast. I know I will always finish no matter how long it takes.

I went to the MD whis afternoon to get my BP check. It is down alot from February but still not where it needs to be. So my meds. were increased again. I am happy that it is heading the right direction.

Tonight I was thinking of doing a short run but the springlike rain,sleet and snow put a stop to that. I'll probablly go to spin in the AM if I can get up.

This weekend, I plan to run longer Saturday and swim/spin on Sunday. I'm hoping for some better weather. Also I hope to take Sugar off the rainer and to the bike shop for a spring check-up.
