Today I went to my first team training session. I've been directionally challenged lately, and I didn't want to be late, so I gave myself an hour to go 30 mins.And guess what?! I made it with plenty of time and didn't get lost at all. I signed in, got my picture taken, received my nice florescent green swim cap, and started mingling. Not surprising, I met some really nice people, some who actually live near me (I see carpooling in my future) a few that share my name, (but they still don't know how to spell it correctly), and someone who lived in CT for a few years for work. It's nice to have met people who I have some basic commonality with, to help build up relationships with.
After spending 2.5 hours going over important information about what we are getting ourselves into, and what we need to know about each sport we will be participating in for our triathalons. we set out on our first full team training run. The coaches split us up depending on the distance we wanted to run. The lowest mileage was 2 miles, while the highest was 8 miles. It had gotten a bit warm, but then again it's San Diego, so even though it felt warm, it was so nice to run. I ended up running with a woman from the team (who surprisingly I 've forgetten her name already) and we chatted and compared notes. as everyone knows whose reading this blog, it's nice to spend your training time with others, it helps it to go faster.
I've also volunteered to help organize a team fundraiser with the team captain. We will be doing a Jail N Bail fundraiser. So I'm off to go try and get donations for us to use.
Glad your first training session was a success. Go Stef!!!! Miss you! =)
