The Prairie Rose State Games Triathlon is getting closer and closer, and I am getting more anxious with each passing minute. My number one goal for this event is to go out there, have fun, and take it all in.
But, if we were to talk about numbers, here's what I would like to see:
Swim - 1000M - 20-22 minutes
Bike - 12.4 miles - 48-50 minutes
Run - 3.1 miles - 35-37 minutes
Now, I think all of these times is very doable. However, I don't know what the OW swim is going to be like, I don't know what roads we are riding on for sure, and I am thinking that the run will be pretty flat, but who knows. Any time better, and I will be on cloud 9! Like I said, I am just going to go out there and have fun. I just hope I don't forget anything important, or don't put my helmet on backwards!
Friday night, I am planning on driving up to GF, staying at my aunt's house. That evening I will drive out to the park (approximately 30 miles west of town) and check out the location. I have never been out there before, so I am anxious to see what it will look like for all three disciplines.
As for now, I am off to do some early packing to ease some of my anxiousness! I found a tri top yesterday, on sale (even better), and am going to attempt wearing it with my sports bra and tri shorts. We'll see how it works out! This race is definitely going to be a learning experience since it's my first. And don't y'all worry, the race report to follow will be nice and lengthly!

You will do awesome! I would bet that you exceed your expectations. The adrenaline always adds a little kick! Enjoy it, relax and have a great time!
You've got lots of people pulling for you -- or maybe pushing you is a better turn of phrase in this case. I have a feeling you're going to meet or beat those times. Good luck!
Good luck in the tri! I am sure you will have fun and do great!
I am so excited for you. Have a blast. I am sure you'll hit all your goals.
Good luck, and hope you have a lot of fun.
Did your tri top not come built in with support. A sports bra might be another "layer"...
Think process goals. I know you don't care about the time, but it helps if you set some specific goals for each leg of the race. Visualize how your day is going to go from the moment you arrive to the moment you leave.
and I already know you are going to have a blast. Woo hoo!!!
Those seem like very reasonable, achievable goals!
It's almost time!!! Good luck with all the last minue preparations. I can't WAIT to hear about it!
Don't forget your 5 gallon pail to sit on!
And for Heaven's sake put your helmet on the right way. I've seen people wearing them backwards, and they look like complete rookies...oh, and dorks.
Fun, Fun, Fun.
Breathe.
