The Cville Sprint Triathlon is this Sunday. Yes, as in 6 days from now. I waiver between feeling not ready and knowing that I will be fine. I won't be first, I won't be last, I just hope to survive. In training I've done the entire distance and even done some of them on the same day.
In other news, I knew I was not going to be ready for the biking and running for the International distance so I will be participating in that as part of a relay team. I will be doing the swim portion. 1500m of pure swimming joy.
Last piece of news that isn't really triathlon related is that I've also registered for the Charlottesville Women's 4 Miler again. I'm doing the training program again this year and put myself in the advanced group since that starts at 2 mile runs. Since I'm doing over 3 miles for routine practice, this is entirely reasonable. I'm going to try to follow the training schedule the best I can but after this triathlon I'm still going to need to get in swim time and I really want to up my boxing time to twice a week.

I have full confidence in you doing very well in the thing this weekend. I hope you have a cheering section there for you and I will be sending lots of good thoughts your way that weekend.
It also sounds like your arrangement for the other tri will work out much better for you.
You've come a really long way from where you were last year and hopefully you can see that in how great you're doing with stuff now. Great job!
You'll do great this weekend. Just remember to eat well.
For the International, though, I'm afraid your team is going to be taught a lesson in humility. Karen's been getting serious about swim training, and I rode with your cyclist yesterday... Let's just say your runner better be as good as she thinks she is. ;)
But maybe Guillermo will get a new crankset by then. I suggested this one. A 56/44T double chainring crankset might give him a better shot. Could help. :)
BTW... what's your team name again? ;)
