Race Weeks are awesome. Sometimes they drag. But as the weekend gets closer, I get so excited. Buster Britton is this weekend (400yd swim/13mi bike/3mi run) up at Oak Mountain. If today is any indication, it is going to be hot and muggy early on Saturday. This was a fun race last year. Here I am 365 days later, 35lbs lighter and a lot stronger in the water, on the bike and on the run. I haven’t ridden out at Oak Mountain yet this year. It isn’t the ideal place for triathletes to train (especially for IM FL) since it is so hilly. A flat course means you have to pedal the entire time…no coasting down hills to get a break. Not much has happened with training this week. Lucas is still having rough nights which keeps us up and that makes it hard to get up for a swim. The 1st round of shots went well. It definitely hurt and my knee was a little sore for the rest of the day, but it felt good on a short brick workout the next afternoon. I won’t drag on too long today. I’m pumped about this weekend. There is just something about racing that gets a fire burning. Who knows, maybe I can hit top 3 in my division again. If you’re bored, feel free to come out. The race starts at 7:30.
