Pre-Race Thoughts

My first triathlon of the season is upon me - the Greenwood YMCA Sprint Triathlon. Not a long race - 300 yard swim, 12 mile bike and 3.1 mile run. I feel like training-wise, I am in much better shape than I was last year. I think my key continues to be pacing. I have picked up a few pounds or it sure feels that way so I don't know how that will fare for me. My knee has started back having a slight pinch in it but it's workable. This race will definitely tell me more about that and my overall training thus far but all-in-all, I am ready for a good event. I hope to beat my time from last year if only by a small amount of time. Mentally I am better prepared and hope that my anxiety level will be greatly diminished in comparison to last year. Anyway, full report after the event on Sunday. Swim Bike Run...Gotta Tri! :)
