Most of the winter was spent nursing two injuries, the kneecap fracture and the shoulder dislocation, both of which kept me out of any training. However, I spent the last two months upping my training level (now up to 100-125 mile a week on the bike) so its time to give some races a go.
So, tomorrow is the official start of race season. I'm taking part in an Olympic distance triathlon of 1 mile, 26 mile, 6.2 mile distances. The course is what I would call rolling. There are two "bumps" in the 13 mile loop, one short hitting 8% grade and one longer 1.5 mile 3-4% climb. The run is supposedly rolling too.
My current pre-race activities have consisted of packing, hydrating, and talking with Dr. LAG (fellow former swimmer and much better triathlete than I) about his Olympic tri race that he did today. By the way, congrats to him as in his first race in years, he pulled off the victory by 4 minutes! Averaging 24 mph on the bike and then putting in a 42 minute 10k run.
All I know is that I'm excited but a little nervous.....
