My legs are toast after this weekend. 80 miles on the bike Saturday with either 8600 or 10300 feet of climbing. Up up up. The Auburn Tri course race director is nuts. Oh wait, he is a former pro triathlete. I don't even know how I'm supposed to race the course... it's more like it will be a test of staying upright and on my bike. Then a short just under 4 mile run in 90plus degree temperatures with little shade in my friend's neighborhood. I stopped halfway up the big hill and bent over and stuck my head in between my legs. I spent the entire time running up the hill looking for possible places to puke in the neatly manicured, really green grass. Sunday was a 14 mile run on the Auburn tri course with little shade and over 2000 ft of ascent. Finished the weekend up with a makeup swim in what felt like a bathtub.
This weekend of course was preceded with strength training and an "easy" bike ride on Friday. I think I've been in a constant state of soreness since Friday. BUT I have to say, I had a fantastic time the entire weekend. I really enjoy riding and running with the friends I have made here.
And lastly, congrats to Jocelyn who finally got her pro card!!
