Ready…Set….Almost there!!

Tomorrow (Saturday) is the day. The one I’ve been preparing for all summer- the Great Triathlon. *blows regal trumpets* my sisters and I do triathlons together, and our team is called Corn, Beans and Squash. Like the three sisters- clever, huh?

So, I’ve been training a LOT this summer, biking all over the place to get ready and build up muscles, especially for this triathlon- the biking section of the course is brutal- it’s only 13+ miles but it’s up a road called Mountain View. Yeah. With a literal mountain. (Doesn’t that sound like so much fun?!) it is a pretty course though, the featured image is from the course. And so is the one up top there ^^

Training has been harder lately, since I also have school and a million other things going on. During the summer, I could bike mostly whenever I wanted, any time of day. Now I am more limited to during my lunch break and after school, but before it gets dark. I’ve managed to work around that, and I think I’ve trained well.

So. Back to tomorrow. I did a light ride on Thursday to keep my muscles in tune, and I was super happy with how it went. I had to hurry so I could get home in time, and so I went faster than normal, and my pace (minutes per mile) was quite a bit faster than us usual. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow- I’m a bit nervous about that huge hilly road. (Hey, at least there’s a downhill section- I LOVE RIDING DOWNHILL!!) My goal is to bike it in a hour, but definitely in less than an hour and fifteen minutes. My sisters have been training really hard for the other two sections, and I know that we will all do great.

Despite the hard training (and the mental game aspect of it) I am genuinely excited about the triathlon. Bring it on- Corn, Beans, and Squash is back in business!
