5.21.10

For a final tune up, I headed down to the LS Aquatics Center this morning.  I swam 500 meters in 11:04.  That is almost 40 seconds faster than my previous best time.  I’m still bringing up the rear of the pack, but it’s nice to continue making improvements.  I checked my records and in March, my best 500 meter time was just over 15 minutes.  Big difference.

This afternoon, I picked up my triathlon race packet.  You could tell everyone there was sizing each other up.  Either everybody is super competitive or like me, it was their first time and they are just trying to figure it all out.

The race is early Sunday morning.  I’m working a half day of work tomorrow then I’m going to try to get plenty of sleep for the early start.  We’ll see how that goes.  Thanks to everyone for all the encouragement so far.  I’m ready to give it all I got.
