Hey, friends! Can you believe it’s Thursday? This week seems to be flying by—no complaints here! I think we’re in agreement about the “healthy” Girl Scout cookie news. If you try it, please let me know what you think! Anyway, after publishing yesterday’s post, I found out that registration for my hometown triathlon opened (which caught me off guard because the original date advertised was my birthday, Feb. 5!), and I didn’t waste any time: I officially signed up for the 13th Annual Cazenovia Triathlon!
More on that in a minute—today’s eats first!
Breakfast
I’m feeling stuffy and congested today, so I opted out of my planned morning yoga class. And plus, Andrew told us to take today completely off after yesterday’s butt-kicking indoor cycling workout. I slept in until 7:20 a.m.—glorious!—enjoyed two leisurely cups of coffee, and then made an egg-white breakfast sandwich.
I finished the spinach earlier this week—grocery shopping needs to happen today—so I added roasted mushrooms and red peppers instead. This combo packed more flavor, and I’ve become a huge fan of Udi’s Whole Grain Bread.
Lunch
I wanted a warm meal for lunch, so I heated up a spinach, turkey, and pepper jack cheese tortilla in the oven.
Plus some carrots on the side.
13th Annual Cazenovia Triathlon
Even though I’m locked into the Nautica South Beach and New York City Triathlons, my 2013 race calendar hasn’t been completely finalized. (I’ve talked to Andrew and nailed down potential events, and I plan to share my official schedule once I register for each event.) Unfortunately, Full Throttle Endurance will not take a team trip to Central New York in August, but I knew signing up for the Cazenovia Triathlon needed to happen. It takes place in my hometown, and it was also my first official swim-bike-run race; completing this sprint event got me totally hooked on the sport, so I have an emotional attachment to this race, too. Plus, triathloning is all about finding your limits and pushing past them, so I want to kick butt, take names, and see how much I can improve—aka blow last year’s time out of the water. It’s all about progress!

Speaking of progress, there’s been some already.
That’s right—no longer a swimming novice! (Since the 2012 race was my first true triathlon, I opted for the novice swim start.) Hey, remember that time I swam in the fast lane? (Too soon?)
Anyway, I registered last night, and this afternoon, I saw this post on the CNY Triathlon Club Facebook group page.
Does it surprise you that I was one of the first people to sign up? Type-A at its finest, ladies and gentlemen.
Is there a certain race or event that always makes it on your calendar?
