Desperate Times, Desperate Actions

It's been a looooonnnnng time since Ironman Canada back in August. I've been the classic slug with only occasional bursts of activity: a couple runs, a couple rides, one open water swim and two heart-stopping surf-kayak lessons with Steve at Mavericks. That all changed last week when I went back to Bootcamp.
Bootcamp is my faithful friend, always there to kick my a#@ when necessary. It's my first time back since joining the tri team in Spring 2005 and it hasn't changed. I've done more crunches, push-ups and sit-ups since starting last Monday since Lori P was affectionately dubbed the Core W---- two years ago. This session I'm going to the Cupertino location at 6:00 am since it's on the way to work. I took advantage of the Veteran's Day holiday from work to do back to back sessions. A 6:00 am session of cardio & weights in Cupertino then a quick drive to the 7:00 am Los Gatos class for hill repeats on Reservoir Rd. Accckkk, of all the days for a double work-out! Now I'm covered in case I miss the day following Thanksgiving. Missing one day of the five day a week for five weeks session, will cost me the t-shirt at graduation. I gotta get another shirt! ;-)
Now maybe I'll be able to actually get back on my bike again soon. . .
The sore muscles are easing and I'm really hoping the waistlines will start to loosen up a little bit! Wildflower is going to be here before I know it!
