After about a week or so off to rest the foot and celebrate, I am back and focused on my goal. I saw Aquatic Director Mike today which means I have started my focus with the water. Seeing that river this past weekend again, is a bit scary to say the least. I have new goggles that have an anti-fog protectant on them. They work awesome! However, as great as they work, I have been thinking about seeing fish, cars, and possibly a guy who used to owe a guy money at the bottom of the river! Oh well, it will be part of the experience.
The title reflects the results by sport for the person who finished 50th in the 40-44 year old Male group in last year's tri. This morning, I swam that 900M in 22:11. Of course, that is in the pool and not where the fish swim. A 56:10 reflects a split on the bike for 15 miles of just over 15MPH. When I train inside, I average 20MPH for 12-14 miles. The 26:26 is faster than any of my Shiver times by about 3 minutes. So, the moral here is I am not in it to come in first, fiftieth, or even 75th but to finish strong and be called a triathlete. However, every guy has to have a goal. I will try and set marks over the next 3 months to see if I can get in under placing 50th in my age group. Go Big Tone.
