Boulder Peak this weekend, SUPER pumped!!!
I'm trying to beat my time from last year of 2h 35m 44s. I'm a bit worried, my body has no top gear lately. I've been struggling to get below a 7:30/mile on the run, and my rides have been very blah. My knee has been sore, so I'm hoping it holds up over the weekend. It's supposed to reach the high 90's on Sunday, so it'll be hot. Luckily, my wave goes out at 6:30am. So I should be done by about 9am, and avoid the heat!
I've done one swim in the past 2 weeks, so I'm a bit nervous. I think I might just red line the entire swim and see where I end up. Should be fun!
I'll probably just get into a comfort zone and try to beat my time on the bike and run. I'm shooting for a 42:00 10K, so if I can run that, I'll be in good shape.
I've been resting as much as I can, icing as much as I can. I just hope my body responds on Sunday. I'm learning my limits though, which I know I will appreciate when I start my Ironman training. If I push my limits now, they will expand and I will become better. Hopefully....
Now, I go eat, drink water, eat, sleep, and drive to the triathlon mecca that is Boulder. Wish me luck all, I'll post pics and a race report on Sunday or Monday. Until then, ride it like you stole it!
