Su: RACE DAY! New England Tri-Fest 70.3
after some questionable/probable/definite slowness on my long rides, but easily holding 17mph on short 1-2hr rides, i'm ready to test my legs out on a HIM course. i'm also volunteering on Saturday (for a registration fee discount!), and we're camping on site. should be interesting to see how the whole 'sleeping with 2 people and a toddler in a 2 person tent' thing shakes out. i may be doing this HIM on 2 hrs of sleep!
have my 3rd appt with the podiatrist this week. last time i was at 50% healing, and was given a tentative ok to try a 3mi run, with strict instructions to stop and not run again until this week if i had any pain whatsoever. thankfully there has been no pain, and i will have done three 3-milers since that appt two weeks ago. i sincerely hope the toe will be healed sufficiently for me to get the go-ahead for Saturday's 13.1mi.
lord, who knows if i'll even be able to do 13.1??? my last long run was Boston's RtR 13.1--the day i broke the stupid toe--and that was 5 weeks ago!!
i've also come up with some A, B, and C time goals for NE Tri-Fest. even though this race is just a long training day for me. IRONMAN Louisville 2013 is my only 'A' race. so why do i have A, B, and C time goals set for myself? is this normal? i haven't forgotten that fun is the over-arching goal. but i believe i can have fun AND hit the A goal if the stars align. B is somewhere between where i think i can finish and were i have finished in the past. C is finish with no injuries.
i'll share the actual times once i finish... i mean, i've got to keep some suspense here, right? if i want to keep my thousands of readers interested. HAHAHAHAHAHAsnortHAHAHAHA
happy training, everyone!
