Holy moley. I went cycle equipment shopping today. I'm overwhelmed about these little CO2 canisters and tubes I have (good gravy, how does that work?) and about how I spent over $300 and didn't even get everything on my list!! And I'm not going with the high-end options, I'm going with the good-enough options. I came home and started tallying it up for my husband... "You know how much it costs to do an Ironman??

But it didn't feel fine in my head. I was fixated on how tired and winded I felt after one length of the pool. (yeah, 64 lengths = 1 mile. and I just did the math - which I shouldn't have done! - 2.4 miles = 153.6 lengths). That scares the Sh%^t Continue Reading
