Yep, this Saturday will be my first Tri for this year.

I have trained for it with my 10-week triathlon training program... and many of us from our group will be competing. It will be so much fun to race with people I know!

It is called the Iceman, in Southlake Tx... 300 yard swim (in a 50 yard pool and it will be great because we won't have oncoming traffic in the same lane!), 13 mile bike (with some hills, but I am ready! HA!), and a 5K run (around a pond with grass for me to run on).

I suspect my times will be:

6 minutes for the 300 yard swim (I can do a 5:15 in perfect conditions, so I added some time).

2 minutes for T1

40 minutes for the 13 mile bike (I suspect I will do around 18 mph average).

2 minutes for T2

36 minutes for the 5k (I do around a 12 minute mile!)

TOTAL: 1 hour 26 minutes... so... maybe 1 hour and 30 minutes.


I will post next week on how it went and hopefully will have some pictures to share.
