Hello Everyone-
I am feeling rejuvenated today. My friend Tracey and I have been training for the upcoming Duathlon in Osceola, WI. Last night we did our 2nd simulation training. I am amazed at how well it went compared to the first one. I think this is going to go alright afterall.
I am hoping to complete the Dual in approx 2 hrs. Under 2 would be idea but for some reason 2:10 keeps poppin in my head so I will probably be right around that mark. We start with a 3 mile run, than a 18 mile bike ride, than finish it off with a 1 mile run. Which might I add is the hardest part of the whole race.
Something about that rotation motion followed by an actual attempt to walk leaves the legs feeling like limp noodles. I played around with my pedaling techniques in the last mile before the run and found that the legs adapted much better to the run that way.
Than you have you pace yourself, getting off that bike and knowing that you only have 1 mile remaining makes me want to surge to the finish line. I learned quick that if that happens I will burn myself out and have to walk across the finish line. Thats no good, I want to be able to sprint or atleast jog across the line.
Kevin, (Tracys man( and Andy will be cheering us on along with Spongbob from the sidelines.
Fun, Fun, I cant wait, and the last mile is in the town so it will be lined with people to carry us through the hard part.
I am missing my Nieces BDay party for this event, she is turning two. Oh how fast they grow. Happy Early Birthday Ms. Maddy!! Shes so Sweet!!

Andy and I are off to Montana tommorrow. We are helping Andys Dad finish up on the house he is building. Need to get it closed up before the snow flies. He says that it ranges from 40-70 everyday. It should be nice. Bozeman is such a great place!! I will be continuing my training while I am out there so hopefully i get some play time in as well.
Thinking I should probably stay off the mountain bike trails so I dont come home with anything broken.
I am also working on Andy, to get him to commit to the Fruita Fat Tire Festival in Colorado in April. Fat tire beer in the homeland along with great mountain bike trails, races, and raves what more could one ask for.
