The only thing holding me back?

I was just rereading one of my posts below that said the only thing holding me back from doing an Olympic distance tri was getting a new bike....did I really think that? The only thing holding me back is my fear. That's right fear. I'm afraid to make the jump from sprint to Olympic. The swim scares me, although I'm pretty sure I could get through it. The bike doesn't scare me at all, but the run after the bike and swim...yea that scares me too. I'm still considering the Creek Streak as it seems to be a pretty easy coarse as opposed to maybe Rattlesnake. I've printed a 20 week training plan that I will start to follow next week. I think I'm already doing the time it starts with so should work good with plenty of time to train.

Had a pretty decent week training wise. Actually made it to the pool twice (I may go later today also) and had a great 21 mile ride yesterday. Need to do some adjustments to the bike but really felt good yesterday....other then the fact that I'm fairly out of shape. :)
Totals for this week
Bike: 21.1 Mi
Run: 5 Mi
Spinning: 15:00
Swim: 1.4 Mi

Well it's a start.

Signed up this morning for the Iron Girl Sprint in Boulder. Excited about that. The Iron Girl 5k I did a couple of years ago was alot of fun. So this is what my schedule is ending up as.

Both Tea and Kathleen have mentioned getting together to ride sometime. I would love to ride with you guys (and anyone else in the area!)....as long as you realize I'm not that fast. :) I really enjoy riding with people. So what do you guys think, maybe we could get a group together and go for a ride?

Results Group

Started my new class today. Results group Personal Training. It's pretty nice. There are about 9 of us and a personal trainer. Today class was pretty easy and part of the time was spent filling out paperwork and stuff. I do see some potential for pain though. :) And I'm sure that I will come out of this stronger with a little more knowledge. I have such a hard time with strength training....I hate squats and lunges... hate em...no wait I better apply some positive thinking here...I can't wait to do more lunges and squats...they will give me a butt to die for!

I have not gotten any riding in yet this month...or swimming for that matter... bad Julie. I missed the riding this weekend. It's harder for me to do on the weekends I have my kids. My focus has been the running since that is my next thing on the calendar, the 10k in 3 weeks. But that does not mean I can let the rest of it fall by the wayside. Winter is going to be so hard. I need to write a schedule, I do much better with some kind of training guide. I have my running planned out for the next 3 weeks any way, I have the personal trainer classes 2x's a week for the next 2 months, just need to figure out how/where to fit in the rest.
