Post Show….. Triathlon
Ok. I didn’t really follow my trainer’s advice. He told me to rest the week following the comp. Well, I didn’t lift any weights, but I did swim, bike and run. I had previously signed up for Boulder Peak Triathlon and could not get my money back. So I went ahead and did it. I knew it was not going to be a personal best kind of day. The couple of runs I did prior to the event told me it was going to be difficult! This bike course has a nasty climb called Old Stage and it slows everyone down. I was 2:28 last year and 13 out of about 105 in my a/g. I figured I would be between 2:30 and 2:45 this year. As it turns out I was 1 minute slower on the swim, 4 slower on the bike and run and another minute slower in transition. So my time was 2:40. I think I was 34th out of 100, so not a bad showing all things considered. Did I mention it was hot, especially on the run? I had a few people comment on my physique, "muscle boy" etc. That was cool.
Anyway, my trainer keeps telling me I have to decide if I want to body build or triathlon. I have set my sights on masters nationals (body building) next year in Pittsburgh! That will give me enough time to develop my quads and win some hardware.
I don’t care what you do. Set a goal and give it your all.
