Greg and I went and trained for the Pacific Grove Triathalon early Saturday morning. We scoped out the course and did the four bike laps. The weather was cold and overcast with a bit of moisture in the air which made me extremely glad I decided to pack that extra long-sleeved shirt!

Greg ended up doing the swimming section as well which was good because it gave us both confidence. Greg said it's harder to swim in the pool than it is in the ocean because of the bouyancy. There was a lot of kelp and it's thick enough that you actually have to pull yourself through. I plan to start training in the pool over at the Aquatic Center with Greg during lunch and I will probably end up renting a wet suit for the race.

Overall it was a good training morning and our total on the bikes was 25 miles. Greg is doing the full race distance and I plan on doing the sprint distance which is one swim lap (1/2 mile), two cycle laps (12 miles), and one run lap (approx. 2 1/2 miles).

I'm looking forward to the race!
