Race Week

Posted by RJ A Jun 18, 2008

It is all sort of ho hum right now, I am ready, healthy and basically pretty calm about the whole thing. My wetsuit is here, I tested it out in pretty heavy chop on Fathers day with a really short swim, just enough to make sure I could still breath properly in whitecap conditions. It was not a problem but heavy chop does not make the best swimming conditions.

 

No worries though the forecast looks promising for Sunday. So I am just kicking back right now, I have been busy and after only 6 hours of training last week I have 0 so far this week, but I plan on getting light workouts in Wed, Thursday and Friday. No plans really, just go with what feels right. Then I am thinking about swimming all our part of the course when I go to pick up my race packet Saturday. But I must confess, being a newbie I am not sure if this is bad ettiquitte, will other athletes or race directors frown upon this?? If you know please tell me becase you know me I am a follower and not a trend setter. I mean it's a park, would it really be a big deal?

 

Regardless one other revelation I had last week, your bike rides a bit harsher but goes faster when you have 100psi in the tires versus 80psi.

 

 

Basically it's Business Time and that always makes me think of this.....I will be sure to let you know how it goes.
