So I will officially have to work if I still want to make top 10, being that there are now 14 registrants for my age group in the mini triathlon.  However, it’s more important to me that I just finish it.

The only thing that slightly worries me is the “open water” part of swimming.  Open water is a bit of an issue due to the lack of lane lines (to keep you swimming in the right direction), multiple people (49 to be exact) around you (splashing water into your face when you turn to breathe, accidentally kicking and elbowing you as you jockey for position).  I’m seriously considering just hanging back for 10-15 seconds to let everyone else swim in front of me.  It’s the same strategy I used for my first couple motocross races and it seemed to work fine.

Anyways, after I finish that it’ll just be a matter of a fun little bike ride and a nice run.

So far the last week of prep is going good and I’m confident that it’ll be a fun day!
