I got an email a few hours ago from the Race Director at the Quad City Triathlon and he is looking for people on the waitlist to fill open spots! So I'm in! I completed my registration so it's official. I'm pretty nervous, I think that mostly comes from the fact that it will be my first. I thought that I would make it, I was trying to be optimistic I guess so when I signed up for the Chicago Fleet Feet Sprint I put in that it would be my second triathlon thinking I would make it into the Quad City Triathlon.
I'm really excited. The idea of an open water swim makes me nervous so it will be cool to do that in West Lake, where I grew up swimming! It's been pretty hard to get a good work out in the past week because of traveling. We've run and biked. The run was extremely hot, we'll try to do it a lot earlier tomorrow. The bike ride wasn't too bad at all. It was short, only about 3 miles, we were very short on time. The breeze from riding fast helped keep us cool. I also left Isaac's trailer snapped down in the back to add some extra drag since there weren't any hills.
Tomorrow, goal is to do a 13 mile bike ride. I'll do it with the parachute trailer for at least the first 6 miles, hopefully more, but depends on how things go.
