USAT Age Group National Championships : Official Thread (Page 2)

one month to go...  It's hard finding hills around here to train on when I'm looking at a 5 mile climb at the beginning of the bike....  ACK!

Two weeks and we are out there.

Getting excited.

Water shows to be about 72.  Just a perfect temp.

And some weather forecasts show it will be in the mid to upper 70's that day and over cast.  Of course that will change a million times in the next two weeks.

I'm ready to get my backside handed to me and have a blast doing it.

Thanks, this helps a lot. I'm still trying to picture that climb in the first 5 miles. Not worried about the short steep climbs in the middle.

Not too nervous about the race...b/c know I don't have a chance to win anything.  But I am nervous about the whole trip as I have never done a race this far from home and making sure I have everything packed.  To top it off I am making a whole vacation out of it up in the NE so got a lot of stuff to plan other than the race. 

I am super excited about some cooler temps tho.  Been training in the 100s down here so 65-85 range sounds magical!

I hear ya on both counts. I leave Sunday and am making stops in Richmond, VA and New Jersey. Then my parents are coming up to VT with me for the weekend. So I have a lot to pack for too. Temps haven't been in the 100s here, but the humidity is always high, so the cooler weather will be much nicer. Hopefully the bad weather holds off. Predicted shows possible rain but so far out that can change a number of times leading up to the race.
