One of the three most important parts of a triathlon is the swimming! The TNT coaches coach us in swimming on Tuesday mornings, but for the rest of the week I'll need a pool to get up to snuff. Actually, I'll need to be up to snuff well before we start our coached sessions (May 15) because I said I can swim 4 laps of a 25 yard pool. They require that you be able to meet that minimum to train for the tri. I'm fairly confident I can...how hard can it be? Anyway, I researched pools in my area...and shockingly the YMCA was the most expensive! I won't be going there!!! Who knew--I thought it would be the cheapest option?!?!? Anyway, I found a reasonably priced pool nearby. I'm up to all of the pre-training requirements in running and biking just need to get my swim on.
I have to wonder whether the TNT coaches will ever be able to prepare me for swimming in the Potomac river!?!? Ewwwwwwwwwwwww...GROSS!

I'm SO impressed (both with your commitment to the triathalon and your new blog and website!). It's my first official blog response... I'll try to behave myself with the comments!
