BIGGEST RACE YET coming up!
This Saturday I return to Little Washington where I lived from 6th-10th grade to compete in my longest and most exciting race yet! For the past two years, I have joined unofficial Pink Ladies from Wilmington and raced the Olympic distance triathlons in July. This year, though, the Pink Ladies are an official USAT team, and are also finalizing non- profit status! As for the race, FS Series has changed the time of year (much cooler!) as well as the format, and I'm the most excited about this race out of all I've entered yet. After a 1mile swim (wetsuit legal b/c the water is 73degrees so keep you fingers crossed my mind can stay calm in the suit!), I will bike 44 miles on my old stomping grounds, and then run 5 miles in familiar territory! I have no doubt it will be a wonderful experience as I cover 50 miles Saturday then do the bike portion in a Sprint relay with two Pink Ladies on Sunday! This is great preparation for the October race of my lifetime...... the Beach2Battleship 1/2 Iron Man 70.3! I can't wait! Hopefully, I'll see some familiar faces in Little Washington this weekend. I'll letcha know!
