This weekend I am participating in the Luray International Triathlon. However, I am doing it as a relay. I've never done a tri relay before so I am really excited because I can bike HARD. Of course, since IMUSA was not quite 3 weeks ago and I'm still 'tired' I have no idea how hard I can really go. But that's OK...I don't have to run afterwards! I'm doing the swim and bike legs and my son the cross country runner is doing the run leg. This will be his first 10K and he's excited. He is missing out on a cross country practice the same day, but since he is racing, well, I think (hope!?) his coach will forgive him!
Then Sunday is 4 weeks until the Nations Tri in DC. This will be the first time I've done this event, too. Should be fun - especially since I'm going to see Toby Keith the night before! I plan to get lots of sleep in the week leading up to the race though, so the little sleep the night before should not be too much of a problem. Besides, don't they say that the sleep two nights before is more important? I'm a little concerned about the logistics of Nations, not so much racking my bike the day before as I've done this before for other races, but getting down there race morning. Maybe I'll make my son drive me and drop me off...then I can call for a ride home. Or something. I'll figure it out!
Oh, and the Columbia Triathlon registration opens on September 8th! I doubt it will be a Team Z race, but I would like to do it anyway as for the 2010 race season I plan to focus on Sprints and Olys and work on my 5K time. It will be a huge challenge to ride (and run) that course hard.
TGIF!

I was on Cross Country in high school, and I'm not sure you should give his coach that much credit! haha
Have fun with your race!!
