So I am in the home stretch. I own my wetsuit, a new bike, new goggles and who knows what else. From a gear perspective I am set. I have been working out pretty hard - training 3 to 5 times a week in the gym and I have been riding outdoors as well as getting in some open water swims in the river to go with my pool workouts. On the 20th of June (this Saturday coming up) I am actually doing the first of the Long Branch, NJ tri-series... It is a sprint also and this will actually be my first triathlon. I have to say that I am not worried at all... I am more than confident that I can complete all the events without incident (so I hope)...
This past week I also joined a tri clinic being run out of a local running shop. It is great- the folks are all new like myself and we have been training together on different days. Yesterday we went on a group ride and got some great tips from competitive riders that lead the group.
I did take today off as I did a 32 mile bike, 1 mile swim and 1.5 mile run yesterday as well as some easy weight training.
This week I will keep it light and easy... I want to stay loose for Saturday, but I don't want to fall out of shape... Tomorrow night we have an open water swim so I will probably ride in the morning and run at lunch... I will also begin to think about how I will set up my transition area and what items I will need to have with me.
Gonna be a tough couple of days, but I can't wait! Finally here...
