Life As It Comes 

Heading into Race Weekend5 Comments

Well, it’s nearly here. This weekend (actually on Monday), I’ll compete in The Austin Triathlon.

Almost three months ago, I began training with T3, and what a ride, it’s been! I remember looking at the training periodization that Chrissie gave me during my first spin class and thinking “there’s no way, I’ll get up to maxing out at 40-50 miles on a Saturday.” Here I am, on the other side of that. T3 has been huge in encouraging me, getting me prepared, and making me confident going into this race, and today it’s hitting me — I can’t wait!

4:30 AM wake-up times for Courtyard swims.
Running hills behind O Henry.
Circuit training at Zilker.
Biking from Kiker through Kyle and Buda and from South 360 well up Parmer.
Spin at PTC.
Two-a-day Wednesdays.
Track work-outs.
Core.
Bricks.
Two sprint-tris.

I’m psyched. I’m ready. Bring it.
