haha, make that racing Sunday! I'm excited! But can't find my race belt.

Racing Saturday. Looks like it will be a nice temp!! Hooray! (Can't believe I'm calling 80's a nice temp!) So, what goals do I have? What time do I predict? SWIM: Goal is 400 m in <8 min. Doable as long as there aren't slow people in front of me. T1: ~2 min BIKE: Goal is faster than 15 mph. 11 miles would then be 44 min. T2: ~2 min RUN: This is the problem. I'd be happy with 13 min/mile, which is 40:18. I'd be SUPER happy with 37 min (12 min/mile). Did a 5k in 38:22 last month. But I may have to walk due to my side cramp issue of late. OVERALL: Most likely time - 1 hr 36 min. I had to walk a lot time - 1 hr 42+ min. My other goals are to enjoy and not to get injured. Now, what to do with my hair???

BRICK. Felt jello legs for 2 blocks. Then felt pretty good, like I was doing a good pace. Then got a side cramp. :( So walked most of it b/c every time I started running again, the cramp hurt more. NOT a good way to start taper week. :(
