Oh so tired this morning and promptly hit the snooze button. No regrets either!

I rode my bike this afternoon. I'm nervous about the mini sprint in TWO flippin weeks! This is the least prepared I've been about any race - oh well! My goal is just to finish!

BIKE: 12.40 miles - 49:41 minutes (I did this 7 minutes faster than the last time I did this route!)

Ooh. A triathlon. Can't wait to hear how you do.

From Burt on Tue, Oct 26, 2010 at 23:05:04 from 68.225.214.248

Still can't wait.

No worries! You have a very busy and fulfilled life! No pressure on the sprint tri...,just do your best and enjoy the experience!

NICE PR on the ride this afternoon! :)

Burt...you will have to wait 2 more weeks.....

Smooth..I always psych myself out before races and often perform poorly because I'm so nervous. So I'm hoping with a "low" goal, that I will enjoy it and maybe do ok. Maybe!

You will do GREAT! Cutting 7 min off a bike time that quickly and you're worried about a little tri? GIRL, you'll be fine! Just know that as soon as the gun goes off you'll be off and running with the leaders!
