I havn’t posted here in a bit, so I’d thought I’d give you an update..
I’m doing the Encinitas 2XU sprint Triathlon in two weeks.....I have been doing a 7 week training routine, that has been adding intensity and with longer durations each week...the last week before the race is a ‘taper’ week, where you still workout, just with much less intensity.
I bought a new wetsuit and have been in the ocean a couple of times, so far.
I feel confident, and know that I will do well, but the transitions (going from when you take off your wetsuit and put on your bike shoes and helmet etc, then from your bike to the run part of the race) are the areas I will concentrate on over the next two weeks (practice getting off my bike and putting on my tennis shoes in the garage everyday
I bought racing flats last week-VERY lite
Realizing that this journey is a great lesson for me....shows me how much I can do, once I put my mind to it....and the journey is morphing, as I find myself thinking....’maybe i could do an ‘olympic’ distance Tri?’......(twice as far), a Century ride? (100 mile bike ride) or maybe a half marathon..... who knows where the road will lead.....
but I’m having a blast along the way.....
I really appreciate all the support from the community here at MTM....In reality, I don’t know you guys, except for our threads, but feel close to you on many levels....so thank you!
