11 days to go.. its time to get serious

With Memorial Day now behind us, and the obligatory BBQ's and other holiday fare past, it is time to get focused. Lately training has been, unstructured, and if I'm honest, that is probably putting it politely. I need to get focused. I think the body sculpt classes on Tuesdays are keeping the muscles toned. And the 1 to 1.5 miles sprints once or twice a week are helping to increase my foot speed. Nothing substitutes for race day. This Saturday might be the last hard day before tapering.

11 days until the Batavia tri. Is a new (PR) personal record in site? In 2006, I finished in 1 hour, 21 minutes, and 55 seconds. In 2005, 1 hour, 24 minutes, and 11 seconds. In 2004, 1 hour, 33 minutes, 03 seconds. We will find out. It only takes 1 second to come up with a new PR.

I have a sneaking suspicions my swimming is not were I need to be, but I might be quicker on the bike and run. June 10th will be the first Triathlon of the season, and a decent tuneup for the 1/2 ironman in July.
