Nationals Looming
Nationals are less than a week away. I am excited to get back into competition. Before a big race, I like to reflect on where I have gone. A lot of training has been put into where I stand now. Looking back on some of the ridiculous workouts makes me think of how far I have come over the last year. These include 5 hour workouts on a stationary bike watching Tour tapes, 4K hill repetitions followed by bike time trial intervals followed by a track workout, 2 half ironmans just for practice and a plethora of other crazy workouts.
I hope everyone training gets excitement for what they are doing. Sometimes I think it is good to explore new techniques along the way. Next year I want to try towing a tire while running! I mean sounds ridiculous but I bet there are not too many people doing it!
My next post will be after Duathlon Nationals, September 16. Hoping to have a great race and take in some fast miles! I’ll make sure to take a lot pics to post on this site. Stay tuned.
