First team training and back in the pool!

I want to let you all know that this is not only my first triathlon, but also my first blog, so still trying to figure it all out!

I went to my first team training on Saturday morning. Found out that I am the only one from the Western North Carolina team that will be going to the Capital Texas Triathlon this year. It's kind of sad, but we meet up with other area teams to travel, so that will be cool. I met a couple of the people I will be training often with-other triathlon athletes. We ran at Country Park. I never knew there were such nice trails there. I am really excited to run some more miles there. We will be having our first swim training on Friday evening.

I got to swim at the y yesterday. Got there later than I had planned after I tutored, but was lucky...no swim team practice! I had the whole pool to myself for the most part. I swam several laps, but I always lose count of them...need to work on that one. It felt good to get back into the pool. The swimming is the part I am the most concerned about for the triathlon. I don't think I really have any concept of what it is like to swim a mile in open water. I guess I will learn soon!
