This weekend I'll be racing the Deuceman 1/2 Ironman Triathlon in Show Low. The last time I raced this 2 years ago, I did so after running Rim 2 Rim in the Grand Canyon. I was not recovered and had a very long, miserable race. Thus, I am carrying a bit of nervousness, fear and anxiety into this weekend.
However, I have been resting all week and rehabbing all my injuries, and I feel ready to roll on Saturday. I would like to throw down some predictions, or goals, if you will.
1. I will be top 3 out of the water.
2. I will bike sub 3 hours.
3. I will run sub 2 hours.
4. I will finish top 6 women.
5. I will podium in my age group.
I am hoping for a 5:30 finish, but would be happy with sub 5:40. This would be a 30 minute improvement over my last effort at this race. This race is notoriously hot. Combine the heat with the altitude and it is a very challenging race. I am keeping my fingers crossed that we will have cooler temps this year. That may help me achieve my run course goal... and possibly even smash that goal. Which is my plan.
Thank you to Endurance Rehabilitation for keeping me strong and moving. I could not do this without you!
