Subject: Last week before Taper Week!I'm so pleased to have made it this far into my training plan. Never before have I followed such a thing! Never before have I EVER done anything like speed work... I've enjoyed the good times and endured the bad, and now I'm nearly there! I feel as though completing this training program in itself is an accomplishment. I'm fitter, stronger and faster than I've ever been before and SO ready to earn my rewards next weekend in my 3rd Sprint Tri.
My goal is to cut 5mins from last year's tri and I'm confident this is achievable for me.
Hopefully that'll be fast enough to get within the top 3 of my AG. I missed out on 3rd place by a pathetic 2mins last year and the 1st person was 4mins ahead of me.
It's amazing to see the transformations my body has gone through and the most wonderful thing to feel so FIT and FAST! I love my tempo runs and get excited and I silently yell 'WOOHOO' as I speed along. (Silently as to not attract any more attention to myself than already... I usually push my 2.5yr old in the mountain buggy when I run and get quite noticed for this! )
I've worked long and hard towards this tri. I'm up to week 19 of 20. I've never trained any longer than 7 weeks at a time and that wasn't proper training...
I AM READY!
