Finished St. Anthony's Triathlon

St Anthony's was the first race of the season! The Pro's were out in high numbers, age groupers were primed and ready to race! I felt pretty good despite what seemed like lack of preparation. We lined up in the water about chest deep, and off went the bell! All swim starts seem to start with some amount of chaos, and this was no different except I was in the Clydesdale division and everyone topped at least 200 pounds and most were well above 6 feet tall! I felt good through out the swim, the bike went smoothly, and the run I averaged a 10 min mile! My overall time was 2:56. I felt good for the most part, definitely could improve in a couple of areas! Great start to the season and ready for the next race..... Which is to be determined!

Been a while since the last post, but the training has not stopped! I will be competing at Saint Anthony's Triathlon in St Petersburg at the end of the month! Can't wait for the first triathlon of the season! More to come soon!

Hey everyone, here is a link to one of the burn camps located here in FL. They do some really amazing things with traumatized children burn victims. They have slip-n-slides, rope courses, camp fires with lots of smore's! It is an exciting week for these children. Check it out!

Workout of the day..... 4 x 800m sprints held within 30 sec of each other. Posted times of 4 min, 3:35, 4:30, and 4:45. Felt great but the cold air on the lungs is a killer! It was only 70 degrees! Loving it!
