Almost there....

Well, the first of my three summer sprint triathlons is a week from tomorrow and actually, I feel really ready for it. Bring it on, I say! I have kept up my training schedule since the last triathlon I did in October, so I usually run a 5K distance around my neighborhood three times a week, I bike 8 miles about 2 times a week and swim laps about once a week. This is by far the best shape I have ever been in in my entire life! Good thing it coincides with being 30 years old; definitely makes it easier to accept. Anyway, the triathlons are in Clermont, which is about an hour from here, so it is going to be some early mornings. But I am excited about improving my time. My strategy is to basically do terrible on the first triathlon just so that improving my time will be a brainless endeavor. Don't want to set the bar too high right out of the gate. My strange pre-race dreams have started up again, though. In the last dream I had to run the 5K in sandals and there was a part where we had to bike up a water slide- not as easy as it may look, I might add. Maybe I have been watching too much Wipeout...

And, because I know you are wondering, I have some 'experiences' I will be working on this weekend, so hopefully you will get three out of me by next week, one even with video. Whoo-hoo!
