I'M BACK!

  

It is hard to believe that I have not competed in a triathlon since May 1998 in Bakersfield, CA. Sitting in my hotel room now and I kind of have indifferent feelings about the race. Please, don't get me wrong, I am pumped to be keeping tomorrow as I have missed being around triathlons and the awesome challenges they present but at the same time I am not new to the idea of competing. Yes, it will be my first triathlon in a long time but in the mean time I have competed as a runner (2:27 marathon and 15:18-5K PR's) and as a cyclist since that race. I am going into tomorrow with a time goal in mind and I will see where it places me if I can hit the time. I know my training has been awesome the past 10 weeks and I feel fresh after this week of taper.
