Heading To The Hill Country

I am leaving to Austin today for a tri tomorrow. It is a super sprint but the only thing that makes it super is that it cuts off 1 mile off the bike to make it super. I would have preferred the extra mile and it be a regular sprint. To top it off it is the hill country. I live in Houston where everything is flat except my boobs. Well, when I have the Enell on the flat uniboob is customary. I am not feeling to great about this tri. It is a pool swim, which is new to me at a race. *Note: I am no expert even though I talk like a seasoned triathlete. It is only my 3rd tri and sprint is the furthest I have gone. So really, I have only been to first base in the tri world. I only registered for this race since my sister wanted to do a sprint that was a pool swim. Now, she is not doing the race due to several issues. She will still be part of the Team Viv paparazzi cheer squad just not doing the race. Ah, well I will quit bitching it is Austin and Austin is always awesome! *Note: There is a local womens race this weekend with the similar distances and pool swim. I guess the sis missed this while researching.

Thanks for all the wishes on the audition. I got the job! I will have my own class on Mondays & Wednesdays. It is nice that I jumped right to having my own class since most gyms make you be a sub first. The only thing that has me pouting is that the tri training team does coached swim workouts on Wednesday evenings and I will miss out. If you know my 3min/100m swim you would know how much I need a coached swim workout. Maybe, I can swap classes with another instructor every three weeks or so to get in a coached swim occasionally.

I am stoked to start OLY tri training next week!! Remind me of this sentence when I come here crying like a girly man from getting my ass kicked. My amazing, *Note: Even though she will coach 19 others I still call her mine. Coach K took first in her age group this past weekend at IM70.3 Kansas! I am so excited to be coached by someone I have admired this past year. *Note: I just got my first couple weeks training schedule that starts Sunday. I have no idea what some of the stuff means; decreasing, descend, accelerations, TT effort, sustained pulls. Holy shit, I am so lost!

*Note: I am not on first base in the tri world. I am definitely sitting in the dugouts.
