A Different Beast
My first Xterra..
Swim: Awesome, best open water swim of the season! 1300 m, started out
strong but didn't kill myself, figured out how to draft, stayed on course, kept
strong til the end, getting out of the water was awesome with the TriCats and
my mom there to cheer me on!
T1: Slow but no screw ups, saw Rachel in transition and got a shout-out for
the TriCats from the announcer
Combined Swim/T1: 31:24.00

Officially a Triathlete!
As of March 16, 2008, I can no longer say, “never have I
ever competed in a triathlon.”
The Tucson Tri was awesome and I had a blast (the sun even
came out for my wave)! Yes, it was hard
but sprint distance is fun and I only had to run once! It was great having so much support on race day
not only was my team out there cheering for me but my mom too. You all kept me going and it really meant a
lot to me.

This sport is hard!
I’m back at home. Clean, relaxed and unpacked from a weekend
of TriCats training Camp and a little Duathlon fun. Now that I’m full of food and re-hydrated I
can begin to try to process the past few days..
My conclusion: This sport is HARD!!

Tucson Rain :(
With the semester coming to an end I find the balance in my life tipping towards the school end of things which makes it hard to find time to train. Mind you I said hard, not impossible so I woke up this slightly less brisk morning for a nice ride only to discover that it was raining!! By raining I mean it was more like sprinkling but the drops got a little bigger five minutes later, then it began to sprinkle again and so forth..
I have a rule: I don't ski in the rain because then I get wet and cold. Now I have extended that rule: I don't ski or bike in the rain because then I get wet and cold. It's just not fun anymore when you're a miserable drowned rat.
