Finally… finally I’ll be racing in my first triathlon of the year. It’s just 2 days away so I’m at the point where I’m feeling the nerves. Honestly, it’s a short race– just a 400 yard swim, 10 mile bike, and a 5K run. Last year I was a few minutes over an hour, completingContinue reading “Triathlon is 2 days away!”
