Things are going swimmingly!

Today's workout: 30 minute swim in zone 1 heart rate.

I went to the gym and swam a 5 minute warm-up. In the 30 minutes after that, I swam a little over a mile. Then I cooled down and stretched out. Then I went into the sauna. It felt good!

Today's diet:
Breakfast: 2 eggs, 2 slices toast, grapes, apple juice and tea
Lunch: left over fettucini alfredo, diet pepsi, piece of birthday cake
Dinner: Sausage roll, mozzerella sticks, garlic bread
Dessert: M&M Ice Cream Bar

Met with a trainer at the gym today, who told me I'm at 39.5% body fat. "That's disgusting," I think to myself as I eat ice cream. He also advised me to begin weight training right away. It's best for strengthening muscles, which prevents injury. It's also good, because my main area of concern is endurance. I know I've got a good cardio base (it could obviously use improvement, but it's there), but I need to make sure that my muscles can endure the hell that the triathlon will put them through.

Tomorrow, I will be better. I'll eat 5-6 small meals full of good carbs and protein. Also, tomorrow is my first run, and I'm going to work in some muscle trainging too. Blah.

I do feel good tonigjht, though. I feel good about the swim. Since I can already swim twice the amount of the race with no stopping, and with really no problems, I am good for now. I need to worry more about the other stuff.
