Sprint tri this weekend!!

After my triathlon on July 18th I have been training really well and the body is feeling great. This coming Sunday I'm doing a sprint triathlon in Santa Cruz. I have not done much speed training, so this will be interesting. However, I did a 22 mile ride the other day and had my fastest average to date, 20.4 m/hr. I also managed to get a good 1500 yard swim in today at 27 min., and 8x400m running with 90 sec. rest at 81-83 sec. this past Monday. However, my big test will come in September when I will do the The Big Kahuna (half IM). I know that it's a big committment to train for triathlon, and Rowe has been so supportive the whole time, THANKS!!!

I have already started to look for possible Iron Man races for next year. The thought of doing a full IM sounds so far away at this time, but time flies. I never thought that I would enjoy this whole long distance thing, but it's growing on me. I find myself looking around while I'm riding my bike mesmorized at the beauty around me. I have found that you have to find things to do to make time pass. After all, 2-3 hours of sitting on a bike can be a bit boring. I can only imagine what it will be like to train for the real thing. I will be an Iron Man!!
