previously said 85 and sunny.
not quite the case...
instead it's been a
gray,
insanely foggy,
humid/muggy,
and windy day.
buuut...
tomorrow says
less clouds,
less humidity,
and more sun.
c'mon goof on the roof,
ya gotta get it right once
in a while!!
please?!
other than the fact that
humidity is not
exercise's (or my hair's) friend,
and that a strong cross wind is less than ideal
when riding a road bike,
this weather just makes the ocean look
really angry!!
could use some positive vibes from
the water...
definitely don't want it to seem
like a scene from a horror
movie before i dive in
for the first leg of the triathlon tomorrow!!!
aaah!
other than that,
i'm excited.
just got my hair braided...
lightning bolt part to
accompany the french braids this time,
courtesy of kerry, the best hairdresser ever...
"power hair" as she stated.
michael, the birthday boy,
and i drove the course today
and it took a long time,
in a car,
not too promising,
so i'm going to have to adjust my time goal
since i'm totally not prepared (mentally)
for 90% of the course
to be uphill.
no exaggeration.
the bike starts off up a steep,
long hill and while it continues
past gorgeous scenery,
cow pastures,
and pick-your-own fruit farms,
there is literally zero relief.
very fitting that this is the first sign you see once leaving transition...
and yes you have to turn left,
so ominous...
the run?
it starts off up a windy,
hilly road too.
honestly think they
must've moved all of the hills
in RI to middletown for the weekend.
RUDE!
but luckily there's been lots of support
to help us keep chugging along
with the positive attitude! :)
so my new time goal (instead of the 'under 2 hour' goal i had last time)
is now to just catch my husband
since he's in the wave 9 minutes before me!
