Race On Tomorrow!

 

With a nice shake out run and bike this morning, I am feeling ready to race tomorrow. It has been real easy to be motivated to train this week with the start of preseason camp for the cross-country teams. After a few days, it was evident that the teams trained hard this summer and came to campus motivated to compete and get back the championships of two years ago! Both the men and women are young teams but they are talented and driven to succeed.

It was a crazy week of scheduling my workouts around two-a-days for the team and meals but training went incredibly well. Coming off working RunningWorks, my running has remained strong and the best I have felt in over a year. Something is really starting to click on the bike as I am cranking out some serious speeds even in small chain rain. It felt really good to get back into the pool as I completed my biggest week of training. My swim may not be the fastest tomorrow after having last week off but at least the comfort level is back.
