This shit is on. This weekend is my first triathlon of the season. This one takes me to Lake Geode in Burlington Iowa. I'm pretty well equipped I think. Had a 30 minute time trial @ practice tonight. This is basically like it sounds...we swim for 30 minutes straight and go as far as we can. I felt pretty good (and am still basking) as I ended up with the farthest distance for the mens (2250 meters). So the swim portion is solid. The cycle feels good but thats' always a wildcard, and the run will be without a doubt my weak point. I'm going to pad up on the socks so that should keep my ankles from shitting out (which is my common problem). All in all though it looks like a good course so here's to it.
