You wouldn't know it by my training the past 2 weeks but I do feel ready for my first International distance triathlon. I think of this has my nemesis, although a different race, this is the distance I was training for a couple of years and experienced back problems that prevented me from competing. This year I feel stronger, mentally and physically. Don't get me wrong I'm still nervous about a lot of things but more confident with my overall abilities.
First my swimming has improved and I'm comfortable calling myself a swimmer. My longest distance yet has been 2200 yds which is beyond what is needed for my race (1636 yds). This will be my first race that I will swim freestyle the entire distance and I'm confident that I can.
Second, I haven't spent as much time on my bike outside but I do think the spin classes have helped a great deal. I'm a bit intimidated by the hills since I'm use to flatter races and training on hills ultimately is what did me in.
Third, my running is coming along well, but I still need to work on getting use to the heat, that could be the kicker on race day.
The next 4 weeks (really 3 since the last week will be less mileage) will be very committed to completing all my training and eating healthy to ensure that my weight is back on track. The last 2 weeks of training the hubby will be out of town so that will allow me to really focus.
