Race Preview: Iroquois Point Triathlon

Ok, first race of the year and I feel ready. Iroquois point- 750M swim, 13 Mile bike and a 3.5 Mile run. The ocean is usually pretty choppy and the bike and run are flat as a pancake. The bike has one really sharp 180 turn and another 500 Meter section of *ass-tastic* road, other than that it should be really fast. The run is pretty boring, really. You just run down the streets in the neighborhood where about 75% of the residents have no idea what's going on or why they can't drive their cars on their own damn roads.

It was my first race last year as well, I feel I did OK but I've done a lot of races since then, feel a lot more comfortable, and feel a lot faster. Looking forward to going fast.

Put actual race tires on the bike. They're pretty slick so I hope I don't have any precipitation to deal with. I forgot what a bitch it is to get brand spankin new tires on the rim.

I let the bride pick the bitchin outfit I am to wear- she chose the bumblebee suit- here's an approximate image. Those are carbon aerodynamic antennae.

She's waking up at the ass crack o dawn to be my support... yay! Should get some good pictures.

For now, going to drink a bunch of liquid, finish prep and get to bed.
