Jealous.
As for the tr...Ok you are crazy organized. Jealous.<br />As for the tri's...I am doing my first Half-Iron this Fall, but have done at least one sprint &/or olympic every year for the last 6...<br />As you know I am a slow poke, not a speedster..<br />So I would opt NOT to do the first sprint so close to your first half, even though you would like to practice triathlon-ing. <br />It might be nice to experience transitions, so I would say that's a PRO; <br />BUT it's kinda like doing a 5K in prep for a marathon: NOT the same!! <br />Especially if you are a person who is fast, and/or likes to RACE (whereas I mostly just am going for the finish), you don't want to muddle your training mind with speed...<br />The olympic will give you much more of an idea of how things are going to go down, and not make you feel too tri'd-out before you get to Musselman.<br />It is smart to not race soon and get some more training in first.<br />BUT THAT IS TOTALLY MY TWO CENTS WHICH ARE WORTH ABOUT TWO MILLI-CENTS!! <br />"Run this Amazing Day" is another blog I follow and she did a Half-Iron before any other tri, I think; after being a runner for many years...might help...<br />GOOD LUCK!!!TwynMawrMomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00210534640371548338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2422411720783541847.post-75646706661079789032013-05-24T15:27:04.845-04:002013-05-24T15:27:04.845-04:00wow 3:25!!!!!

He s a great guy. I'm so sad you are doing that tri...watching that video I saw my house and my work. This is borderline awkward. I claim the work but I'll never claim that as my house I guess.<br /><br />Like I said, I think that is such a good call to do that race though...more time to recover and whatnot. Also you are not allowed to recover...you should be pounding out miles all week long instead. Having a lunch time coffee currently in your honar.

Found a partner for the race and I get to meet her for the first time the morning of the race way far out of my comfort zone.
