A big part of doing the triathlon is the journey along the way and the people you meet and the common interests it gives you.
This afternoon we sold our Thule rooftop cargo box to Jim & Karen Schlosser. What a fine family they appear to be. Jim has completed several Ironman competitions and was in great shape. As an active family Jim & Karen get out and about and with bikes for their 3 kids needed more room for gear. Just like our family when they were at home. I invited them to do some things with our family and Jim specifically to perhaps consider the Hayden Marathon in Oct around Hayden Lake. That's part of the fun of it.
At the KROC Center I wanted to give an update to Gloria Waggoner ,Program Director, as it has been a while. I told her how biking had finally clicked in, and running was now smooth, and swimming was just starting to come along.
I went to the pool and all of a sudden she is there coaching me along with her wisdom about making sure I breath out all the air and don't shallow breath at the top of my lungs. and that I put my head down and actually look at the bottom of the pool not looking forward like I was and of course breath in the pocket. Her tips are invaluable for the next segment of training. The past week I just felt like I could swim and breathe, now I am ready for more and she was there to give assistance.
She seems like she would be a great boss to work for that is interested in her employees and coaching them to be the best that they can be. Thank you Gloria.
