All in the name of science-140 Days to go

So after three months of PT, I am ready for triathlon season.
(Season?)
For me the season starts in July and runs until Thanksgiving.
All the bizarre things I did in PT, I did in the name of science
(So what was PT like?)
Lots of stretching
(Like Yoga?)
Like taffy




It was a lot of picking up tennis balls and placing them
in a bag while balancing on one foot
(What is that blue thing you are standing on?)
A Squishy blue pillow
(Why are you standing on a squishy blue pillow?)
It makes the muscles work harder to balance you on one foot






Standing on one foot and lifting the other one in the air
(More balancing on one foot?)
Just one more way to strengthen the knees.
(You make it look effortless)
Once I got that good, the PTs made me hold 5 pound weights in each hand.

(Why doesn't your knee have any hair on it?)
I shaved that part of my leg, so they could tape up my knee.
(Tape?)
So that the muscles track properly
(Your muscles don't track?)
One of the problems I was having with running was pain because the muscles were not aligned.
(You went through a lot to get ready)
All in the name of science
