Show Nuff...

Well it's here...the season's first race. Deuces Wild. Show Low. AZ.

BSG, BJames and I headed down yesterday. 12+ hours in the car. But worth it. Boys weekend racing. killer race. A little altitude (7,000), a little wind, a lot of schwag. This race has a post-race raffle that includes $30k plus in sweet tri gear. Certainly one of the reasons for the road trip! In addition, the course is a mixed bag...fast in parts, a grind in others...part trail, part not, all fun!

The goal here is to, of course PR...but giving it some thought I am weighing out all the variables...Last year I had a great race. 13th in my age group. 2:49:25.

Swim (1500m): 30:03; T1: 2:39; Bike (40km): 1:17:13; T2: 2:09; Run: (10km) 57:24

I was also 3 weeks out from Ironman so my fitness was HUGE, but I was tired going into a taper. This year I am leaner, lighter, stronger and tired as well, coming off of a big week...75 mile ride, 16 mile run...and I know...HTFU! I think, given a good day tomorrow I can make up a little time on the bike and run. So, fingers crossed.

Just about ready to run thru transition, take a dip, packet pick-up and chill.

Race report tomorrow.
