Wow, hard to believe we started this process in March. To move my training forward, I joined a Triathlon training class here on the island and learned so much about gently ramping up and increasing my fitness in a healthy way. The most surprising things have been that I actually enjoy the running part and I have learned a lot about swimming workouts and rearranged my stroke! Also working with a heart rate monitor has been enlightening. Highly recommend having a coach! And luckily, my event was moved to September 20 so I have a great base for the next 6 weeks of finalizing and mixing sports!
