This weekend included lots of swimming, and riding. On Saturday, I was supposed to ride for about 6 hours. It was freaking cold out. I believe it was foggy and about 42 degrees. That doesn’t sound too bad if you are running, but it is bone chilling when you are riding your bike. And I [...]

Racing this year feels so different from previous years.  The sick nervousness that used to plague me before races has become a distant memory.  I was happy and relaxed at this triathlon.  Granted, all my races have been short little things so far.  The only tris that I have done this year have been sprints.

I have my first race of the season tomorrow. I’m a little nervous which is funny considering it is only 5 miles, and I did an Half Ironman last year. My goal is to average an 8 min/mile pace. I will be ecstatic if I can average a 7:24 or below min/mile pace which would [...]
