It’s t-minus three weeks till my first sprint triathlon. I’ve been training since June, but I’m trying to do more bricks as I approach the event. Swimming a 1/2 mile or biking 7.2 miles or running 3.1 isn’t that difficult. The challenge is doing them back-to-back.

I’ve been doing quite a few bike and run bricks, but I did my first triple yesterday. I feel good about my times, but I’m a little concerned about going from a pool to the ocean! Very different ball game. And most of my bike training has been on a stationary bike.

My base line goal is to finish in 1:15. My big, hairy, audacious goal is to finish in 1:07. I’d definitely have to be hitting on all eight-cylinders. This is my first triathlon so I have no idea what to expect. I do know the adrenaline will be pumping!
