SOMA is Sunday. It will be my third triathlon. I am excited for it because I did a half ironman in Illinois in September and the conditions were not as expected. This course should be easier, but hotter, and I am not good in the heat. I started swimming in the Spring and biking in the Summer, so I will not be too upset if my times are still not up to par. It is frustrating, though, being slow when I am so used to being faster than the average woman when I run.
Taper weeks really bother me. I love long workouts and they are stress relievers for my busy days. Today I swam 1000 yards in 250-yard increments. I tried to swim 200 before Brian passed me on his 250, but that is still really hard to do. Running was awesome tonight though. I ran about a 5-mile loop from the Y at 7 minute mile pace. It felt awesome.
