The bucket has Gatorade in it right? Usually, I take the bucket and dump it over my head at mile 20 of the marathon. The bucket has Gatorade in it right?

You'll do great at Rochester - who cares if you have to walk some - as you say the challenge you're taking on vs the sprint makes the extra effort worth it. The transition to multi-sports takes a bit of getting used to but you'll emerge so much stronger and your running will really benefit from it. Great post Beth!!

When you use swimming and biking as cross training, they complement your running well, but if you take more out of one bucket, the others suffer. That is a great analogy!

Just hope the holes don't get bigger then the rate we can fill it up! Thanks for visiting my blog. Looks like your training has been solid! I would like to do an IM some day. – Looks like fun.

And we sound a lot alike in the sense that we tend to struggle with running, and have taken to swimming and cycling. I'm hoping that my newfound love of these two sports will help me with my running when i can start refilling that bucket... but we'll see. Great post!

I see each workout as money in the bank. Little deposits can really add up. <br /><br />Love the new wetsuit. I am trying to hold off buying one until next year. I am hoping for warm water :) I love this post! Perfect. I see each workout as money in the bank. Little deposits can really add up.

That always helped me! They say you need 26 days to recover from a marathon and you had very little recovery. So try just kickng back for 3-4 days before the tri, can not hurt?
