Triathlon Training 40
Well, me friends, in half an hour I head off for another adventure. This time I'm off to Lubbock Texas for the collegiate national triathlon.
It's windy. I hate wind. Not only does it make biking miserable but it stirs up allergens that sap away all my energy. It's also going to be cold. The water temp this past week was 58 degrees, making this the coldest triathlon I've done so far (although, to be fair, I do have my wetsuit this time). And my knee still hurts when I run. I've been taking it easy and stretching it, and I'll be carrying some vitamin I just in case, but I suspect this is going to be a painful, slow, difficult race.
The good news is that there won't be any hills. It'll also be my last race till Milkman, in June, which is good.
The sad news is that this will be my last race as a member of the NMSU race club. This really is very sad because this club breathed life into my last semester down here. This would have been a long, lonely time if I hadn't found frinds through this club. I hope that I can race without them and I hope to race alongside them as alumni in the coming years.
Will I survive? Will I drop my water bottle again? Stay tuned to find out!
