I cannot believe the race is only 19 days away!! The running has been a bit of a challenge w/ a small tear in my right leg calf muscle....but it's on the mend and one treatment of 'active release' by a great chiropractor has done wonders. Another session scheduled for tomorrow.
Swim's going great. Personal best in speed occured last week w/ 25 yards in 35 seconds....for this slow poke...that's good in my book. Still can't believe the currents are supposed to be 5mph on race day. If I don't make it across the moving river w/in 50 minutes....I'll be swept out to see...how dramtic is that. :)
Biking is the weekness and need to move from spin class to the actual bike. Bike is tuned and ready to go, so it happens this week.
I guess I should start sleeping w/ the windows open and taking cold showers to prep for the chilly waters that await.
When I first heard about the Escape from Alcatraz Triathlon, I thought the swim portion was absolutely insane and anyone who swam it was nuts. It's funny how things can change. One of my biggest fears in life is now one of my most incredible joys. This race (especially the swim) is truly the funnest, yet most challenging triathlon's, I've ever competed in. Below is my journal on the incredible experience. This year's race is on Sunday, June 10th, 2012.
