I have my first-ever tri coming up in a week, and I'm nervous/scared/unprepared/dragging my feet. I've been having hip and knee pain and so haven't been biking or running. BUT my swimming has improved markedly. We'll see what happens, I suppose! Thanks for letting me commiserate a bit!Beth Moreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17507326859684820743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-55052564835302314732009-08-14T22:51:50.579-05:002009-08-14T22:51:50.579-05:00Good luck kicking the pre-race funk and kicking th...Good luck kicking the pre-race funk and kicking that race's butt!X-Country2https://www.blogger.com/profile/01543524827265377886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5285752857039221790.post-19161338502202487852009-08-14T12:53:19.488-05:002009-08-14T12:53:19.488-05:00Good luck with the attitude.

It's a catch-22 and going gloveless, while painful, gets the job done.<br /><br />Michael and I are thinking of signing up to volunteer for some youth fitness activities in our area.
