Saturday is my first race of the season. If I felt more prepared, I would be even more excited. It's been a long stretch between races (October 11th was my last). 6 months! The weather is still so cold, which I am over. That, plus my support team having an irregular schedule has forced me to the treadmill way too often. I'm trying my best to not miss workouts, but the treadmill night after night is hard. Especially when it's 9:30pm or later before I can even get started.
But all that aside, it's race week! 13.1 miles on Saturday. I'm not expecting a PR, but a good performance would be nice to kick off 2014. I'm also toying with registering for another sprint distance Tri. It's in April, and the swim is a pool swim with the bike and run outdoors. It would be practice through transition though, and the entry fee is low.
Speaking of triathlon, Ironman 70.3 training officially starts on March 31st! That's less than a week away. The kids have a few nights of sleepover scheduled that week, so I'll have a chance to dedicate myself entirely to the first week of workouts! That I'm very excited about. And...my wetsuit is scheduled to be delivered today! I got a GREAT deal on a nice suit, so I hope the fit is good. I tried on a suit a few months ago, and it was terrifying. So hot and tight. I'm sure I would have appreciated it more in cold water!
Here's to getting in my miles this week and the start of race season!
