Well - did a trial run of the triathlon tonight and I feel very confident that Saturday is going to be so much fun and totally do-able.
Started off with the 400 meter swim which was somewhat exhausting. Quickly got out of the pool to transition and get on the bike as fast as we could, and did a full 8 mile bike ride which is what the tri is. Transitioned from there again to the run, which felt REALLY weird for the first mile or so - almost like lead and I'm sure we looked totally funny running. Did a 1.8 mile run which is just under what the actual tri run will be - all of this in around 1:10. I'm feeling great!
Thought it was going to be at least an hour and a half, but apparently not. Still, with 199 other people participating, things may get a little hairy in the water and also on the bike ride, so it may hamper our time. Also, wore the trisuit for the first time to get a feel for what the actual tri will feel like. Fits good, feels good, and can't forsee any problems with it. Woo Hoo!!! Now time to relax and take a breather for the next two days until GAME TIME!!!!
