I am amazed to realize that the triathlon that I've been training for is next month! Time has flown and I'm down to the last 8 weeks of training and preparation. Today I did some cycling and running. Not a lot, after the vacation week in Orlando with the family. I'm going to work back up to distance this week with some long distance work this coming weekend.
Today I worked with the boys on their upcoming triathlon. We went over transitions and the multiple legs of the event. Cindy and I mapped out a course in the neighborhood that mirrors the distances that they will do. Their race will be a 100M swim, a 2.5 mile bike, and a .5 mile run. They did their first today as practice in 33 minutes. We were quite proud of them and they were excited that they can do the distance.
I think it's important to know that you can do it. The mind has such a large part to play in our success or failure in any distance event. That's why it's important to me to accomplish all the distances prior to the Augusta event. I've done double the swim distance and I've done the bike distance several times... it's that run that I've never done. The longest run I've done to date is 6.5 miles and it's become a mental block. This next week will see that block fall.
It's great to be in the final sprint toward the event!
