A bit of an Adrenaline Pump!

2004 Olympics triathlon silver medalist Bevan Docherty of New Zealand lives up to his motto of "He who wants it most wins!" Here, he sprints from behind to clutch victory from the grasp of compatriot Kris Gemmell at the 2005 New Plymouth ITU World Cup triathlon.

38 Days til Swimming with the Sharks!

I honestly can't believe the race is only 38 days away.  Oh my word!!! Training is going well.  A bit of a pulled hamstring over the past month, but last 7 days has been great with no pain.  Swims are going well.  Biking needs to happen more.  Not enough hours in the day to get the amount of training in that I would like, but that's kind of the usual story.

I heard today that the current is supposed to be 5mph on race day and if we don't make the swim w/in 50 minutes we'll be pushed out underneath Golden Gate Bridge and then will need to be picked up in a boat and brought back to swim finish!  Now this is from one source, so I won't stress about it too bad.  All four of my swims have been under 40 minutes, so I should be good! We'll be swimm'n in a river though!

Alright, sorry for such a quick note, but thought it was better than no note....right?  :)

Happy training for anyone else doing the race!! I'll write more later.
