Goals

Been thinking a lot about my goals lately.  I think I lied to you guys earlier, a triathlon typically takes around 5 and a half hours... woah. 

So I broke it down

Swim: I'm hoping I can get the swim done in about 30-35 minutes, I feel that swimming is one of my stronger suits at this point and my pool swims are usually below this time for a 1600m, granted their arent waves and multiple other bodies next to you, but you also have adrenaline on your side.

Bike: 56 miles...whew this is a tough one for me...Especially because as of right now my bike is not a speedster (although eeeek, that might change this weekend.)  Still I'm hoping I can get the bike done in about 2 hours and 25ish minutes. 

Run:  My fastest half up to this point is 1:45 which is about an 8min/mile pace.  Everyone I talked to said to be realistic I should be in the 9's for my half ironman goal.  So I decided to make it 9.15 for my overall pace.  This takes me to about 2 hours and 1 minute, and I'm betting if I push really hard I might even be able to knock off that minute ;).

All together with transitions(this is another story for another day), My goal is to be below 5 hours and 10 minutes.....We will see what happens!

This brings us to the elephant in the room....


FIVE hours........................................   Holy.    Crap.   

The face I make in a holy crap moment.

It took me a minute to recover but here I am, knowing I can do it, as long as I keep a positive attitude, continue to train and Ahem (Brad) get my fast bike!!!!

I might be crazy you guys. Ha! Did you catch that I said might?  Okay, so I am crazy you guys, but I am actually thinking about registering for the Michigan Titanium Triathlon too, which is  in August... I mean all this training for just one Tri?  Might as well do two right?  Plus then wait for it.........I can know a time to beat!!!

Oh the competitive spirit!

Thank you all so much for your support and love... Your my heroes.
