This past weekend I competed in the last duathlon I have planned for this season. It was f*cking HOT!! I felt like I was competing on the sun. The temperature in the shade when we entered into the bike portion of the race was 34 degrees!! WTF??
In any event the race came and went. I put in my strongest cycle leg of the whole season but also the worse run portion. It seems that I can't get both cycle and run on track for the same event. Oh well, next year is a new season.
I will say that I enjoy competing in these types of events very much but the fact that I can complete these events and still not move the scale is getting me down. I even thought seriously of picking up smoking again this week just so that I can see the scale move in my favour once this year.
As you may or may not know I'm actually up one pound from our original start six weeks ago. I know...I can barely believe it myself. However, in the spirit of this blog and of not giving up I read a few stories today of how to bust through a plateau and I'm going to do my best to stay focused and tackle this hurdle.
So in that vein, tomorrow I'm back with the trainer from hell Brendan and then off to another humiliating step class. The following day I have plans to hop around with a noticeable limp acquired from time spent with Brendan, I will weigh myself to add insult to injury and I will look my closet straight in the eye and say: YOU WILL NOT WIN!
