It’s been a long time since I have been super nervous for a race.  I got signed up to do a local swim/run race which is the first time I have raced this combination.  1 mile swim & 5k run.  As I was setting up my “transition” I started to think about how much I was REALLY missing my bike at this point.  Two things were running through my mind.  The first was.. this run is really going to hurt!  The second was… I miss my bike!  The bike is my Baby.  I am not the fastest swimmer out there, but what I lack in the swim I can make up on the bike.  So now, I am left with just a 5k to do that with… UGH! Totally out of my element!  Especially as I am trying to regain run speed as the one year anniversary of my injury approaches July 6th.  I ended up having a blast and yes, the run hurt as much as I thought it would but I am excited to continue with the series over the next 5 weeks and see if I can continue to reset my 5k PR post injury.  Its going to be great for getting the speed back.  Without Limits will take each athletes top 4 finishes and award to those with the highest standing at the end.  Let’s see if I can move up a little.  Enjoy your training =)
