After some time sitting down with Chuckie, we both decided it is time for me to at least get my feet wet again and enter a race or two. Although I am not as in a shape as I was prior to breaking me toe, the whole goal for this year is to gain some experience as a Pro. And to do so, you need to race.
So, I am going to be racing at the local Olympic distance race Boulder Peak. The week after that, I will travel to Calgary, AB to race the Sylvan Lake Half-ironman. I will not taper for these races because I need to continue building into a lean, mean (not so much), speedy machine. Sylvan Lake was my first half-ironman I competed in (2007) and it is the first race I ever made a pay-check from! It was this race I decided I wanted to continue racing in the longer events. Hopefully this year, the race bodes well!
I will continue to work my stroke in swimming, my strength in all areas and ensure I don't stay up every night partying. :) I can't even remember when I did this last - if ever (pulling an 'all-nighter' is the toughest thing for me -I can hardly stay awake for a 2hour movie!).
