Thankfully today was much better.  It was wound round day at work, so I didn't get very much done of my own charting, but it's all part of it.  It's actually nice to be part of a group that values the input of a RD.  I hear lots of stories, and many times deal with a bit myself, about how so many people still think dietitians are just foodies.  While that is one aspect of what we do, there is SO much more.  I'll probably discuss that eventually.

I train with a group called T2.  They have a GREAT aquatics program and also a performance triathlon program.  They have coaches for all 3 disciplines and create your training schedule based on your upcoming races and goals.  It's a really great group and I know it's helped me a lot.  Now I just have to get more focused on the bike.  Those practices are changing to Mon & Thurs evenings, which will present a little challenge.  I prefer evenings, but Mr. Duffey would not like me home late 3 nights out of the week.  Ah, the challenge and the compromise of trying to work it all in.  :-/  Tonight was weekly track practice.  I am definitely getting faster in my intervals.  Tonight was effort based for timed intervals.  My fastest interval, I was able to hold 8:08 pace for 0.5 mile.  I also had a 8:10 for a 0.49.  So I'm pretty happy with that.  Stronger and faster is the goal!

Tonight we discussed how we need to think about our 2012 races.  I'll have to give some thought to this one.  Please share suggestions!
