Here we go...

It's been a while since I've hit up the blog, but it's time to post a pre-Freshman Tri message. 5/1 is the big day for the Windcrest Freshman Tri. It's a sprint tri, 200m swim/10 mile bike/ 2 mile run. It doesn't sound too tough, except for the fact that my training has been minimal in the last couple of weeks.
Most of my "running" has been done on the soccer field, and now I'm paying for that. Not only do I think I'm going to suffer through the short, 2-mile run, but I'll be suffering with a fractured orbital. Soccer is not for sissies!
I'm hoping I can tough it out and stay relatively close to Rick. It looks like he'll be starting the time-trial style swim, right before me. I just want to keep him in sight throughout the race.
Follow-up to come this weekend...
