Coasting in to tomorrow's sprint tri
For the most part, I've taken it easy this week after three hard weeks. A short 20-mile ride on Monday, an easy 45-mile ride on Tuesday, an easy interval session on Wednesday, and 2000y in the pool yesterday. I'll go for a run or maybe a swim later on today.
Tomorrow is the last race in the three race BFAST series. At the beginning of the year, one of my goals was breaking 1:05:00 in a BFAST race. I achieved that goal in each of the first two races, with a 1:03:39 and a 1:04:44. Of course, the goal for tomorrow is to break 1:05:00 again and the stretch goal is to break the PR set in the first race.
That being said, here is how I see tomorrow unfolding:
Swim (1/4 mi) | 0:10:00 |
T1 | 0:01:20 |
Bike (11.5 mi) | 0:29:00 |
T2 | 0:00:40 |
Run (3 mi) | 0:23:00 |
Total | 1:04:00 |
That would be a happy medium between the first two races. The wildcards for the race include rough water and hot and humid conditions. When we went to the beach this past Sunday, the ocean was pretty rough. With the storms rolling through, I'm sure they will be less than ideal tomorrow. The positive is the temperatures may be down, but I'm sure the humidity will be stifling.
Whatever happens tomorrow, I am very happy with my race series so far.
Looking forward, next week will be the beginning of a new four week cycle that will feature a lot of time on the bike as I continue to prepare for the HOT at the end of August and the Florida Challenge the end of October.
UPDATE: Rumor has it we may have a duathlon tomorrow. Blah!
