Minimum Requirements

Well, you'll all be relieved to know (I was relieved anyhow -- I doubt any of you were on the edge of your seat) that I meet the minimum swimming requirement easily. Swimming is, however, much harder than it used to be for me. I wonder if that is because its been a few years, because I'm out of shape, or because I'm lugging around a *ahem* few extra pounds. Regardless, I make all of the minimum requirements-whooohooooo! But as one potential donor said to me 'you better pick up the pace, I'm not going to pay for the minimum or even mediocre!'

Kickoff is Saturday at 8:00 a.m. I'll get my full training schedule then. I did get that horrible rumor confirmed. Swimming practice is at 5:30 a.m. on Tuesdays. YUCK! Running/biking training is at 8:00 a.m. on Saturdays. I never thought I would see the day when 8:00 a.m. seemed like a reasonable hour of the morning, but alas here that day has arrived.
