Well, I have to admit that I haven't done much since the Derby Half Marathon a few weeks ago. Had every intention of doing the 4th in the Shelbyville Tri Series this past Sunday, but it was a rain-soaked weekend and my stomach wasn't cooperating, so Alicia and I opted out. Not feeling too guilty about it - considering it's only May and I've run 3 half marathons, completed 3 triathlons and 3 additional long distance races so far this year.
So now, we're down to crunch time. I waited 'til the last minute and just purchased my clipless pedals 3 days ago and tried them out for the FIRST TIME EVER. I must say, pretty sweet! The Rev 3 Knoxville Olympic Tri is Sunday morning, and I'm more exicited than scared/nervous. Alicia called earlier and asked how I felt. My explanation was that it was, after all, just a longer version of the tris that we've been doing, so really nothing to worry about. Knoxville is hella-hilly though, so it should make for an interesting race. I don't do well on hills on the bike, so I know I'm gonna be wanting to die halfway through - but oh well. I always love it afterwards and am SO GLAD that I did it!
Decided that with the upcoming San Fran Marathon trip I'm going to have to skip the half-Ironman in Sept as originally planned. Not too upset about that either. I still have plenty more events/races planned for the rest of the year, and think I've decided: Next year - Half. 2012 - Full.

- After four years of long-distance running (5k, 10k, half-marathons) I got a little burnt out and decided to try my hand at triathlons. This blog is a journey into my training regime, as well as the play-by-play experiences I have had while competing in these amazingly fun events!
