The training season fast approaches, beginning Feb 16th. Before that, arrives the indoor triathlon at the local university. It will be the first time I have ever participated in such an event. It appears to be quite popular with frozen locals who are faced with a few more months of indoor training.
The race, run by Lifetime, no doubt has all the usual flavor. Lots of peacocking from the big boys looking to impress each other with their fast times - in actual fact it's distance in this format. Plenty of first timers and hopefully lots of good humor between the racers. The event has a unique feel in the fact that each athlete is assigned 30 minutes in each discipline and must achieve the furthest possible distance during each segment. An early test of how the winter has gone. For me, a good laugh with some fellow triathletes and a nice high intensity training session. Not much to expect, but who doesn't just love a free t-shirt!?
Feeling tired going in to this. Have been focusing closely on lots of strength training and keeping all my sessions to 1 hour or less, before it all gets out of hand in a few weeks. Haven't been in the pool recently, so diving in will be fascinating at the start of this race.
It might be a little chaotic. Arrive home at 1020am for a 1245am race start. Here's hoping my flights are on time! I will make a feeble attempt to review how the race goes. In any event, I will report back when IM training begins in earnest.
Good luck to us all!
