Leaving this AM to my first triathlon (or perhaps only aquabike) of 2009. Olympic distance in a high mountain lake (Calima) in the south of Colombia. My wetsuit doesn't really fit me anymore so I can't move my arms too well, the swim will be slow.I haven't run for 8 weeks because of a pulled calf muscle, but it doesn't really hurt, so am hoping for a miracle in the transition from bike to run.
If it starts to hurt I have asked some of my companions to take my number away from me and force me to quit the run. I am going to work on transitions!

I hope your body cooperates! Good luck!

Sounds great!!! Sometimes the adrenaline of race day is a wonderful drug. Hopefully you'll get to the run and feel fantastic. Have a great time (and pictures are required as it sounds like a beautiful location).

Hope all is going well! Waiting for the end of the day race report
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

How did it go? I'm hoping GREAT. You are my new inspiration -- I'm also nursing a calf pull and it's not going great. I hope you had a great day and a pain free run!
