I started this entry as a season wrap up, but thought it was a bit premature. This season has been a fantastic success but I'm sure that Sunday afternoon my perspective of the season will be substantially altered by the results of Longhorn 70.3. I have two big season goals which hinge on my performance this weekend. This season has been
GREAT, but I'm not getting into the water on Sunday morning to have a "good" race, finish the distance or set a PR. I'm showing up to take 9m31s out of Benjamin Ryan* (#1599) and to podium in my AG. I've got the fitness and have done the work. Its time to execute the race plan and do a little old fashioned suffering.
*Mr. Ryan is a nice guy, but he has the unfortunate position of being in first place and 9m30s ahead of me in the Texas Tri Series standings and so I've been gifted for 6 weeks with an abundance of motivation. His wave will also be starting 10minutes ahead of mine which means I must pass by the finish line to scratch one of the race goals. I love playing catch up.
Game On
