Week 18 day 1

Swam at least 3000 yds yesterday. My allergies did not appear, so that scare went away. I did my leg weight workout, my cool dip and did some minor stretching.

I continue to investigate on the web about bicycle gearing. I am studying the inclines on the hawaii bike course. I will hopefully solve this puzzle over the next couple of weeks.

Dave Scott's triathlon camp recomends: As regards gearing, we recommend that you have a minimum of a 23 - 25 gear on the rear. In addition, if you are looking for more gear rations, we also recommend using a compact crank on the front to get better gear ratios so you can spin up the rolling climbs in case there is a lot of wind.

I don't want to add a triple, so I think the recommendation will work for me.

Today, I hope to add running back into the mix.
