Galveston Pre Race Report

First off, thanks to my husband for the words of encouragement.  You are the best.  What he didn't share is that last night I had a little emotional breakdown about this upcoming race.  Which was all started because of my bike seat and the position I was sitting on it.  Anyway, thanks honey.

Now to steal his format for this blog post.

Race Strategy:
Show up.  I will do this by talking myself out of talking myself out of doing the race.  I have two days to do this.  I have no idea what my race pace will be, as I have never done a sprint tri before.

My targets for the race as followed:

Swim:
Not drown.  I am hoping my wetsuit will help in achieving this goal.  I can only assume that my time will be twice that of the time it takes me to swim(500m) in the pool, as I will probably be zigzagging all over the place.

Bike:
Not fall in front of everyone while clipped in.

Run:
Go as fast as I can to make up time lost on swim and bike.  And rehydrate since I can't drink on the bike.

With transitions I hope to be finished before they close the course.

Thanks for all the well wishes.  And an unnecessary good luck to Jeff.  I know you will rock this training day!
