One Week: The Half-Ironman countdown and other musings

So much for keeping an up-to-date blog.

33 bike races this season ... 32 since my last post and two triathlons on top of that. I've been busy.

So busy that somehow, I've managed to secure 3rd place for the Garmin Women's Category 4 Series. My original goal was to crack the top 15 so I feel pretty darn good about it. I was the leader at one point, until I crashed about 2 months ago. I was wearing the jersey when it happened. That was my first major crash and feel very blessed that the damage was not worse.

I've met a lot of great people along the way and have mixed feelings about the season coming to an end. BUT! I have one major race to complete before it does ... The Lake Stevens Half-Ironman on Sunday, August 16. Now, I'm not sure if I'm really ready for this race, but my goal is to finish and to learn how to handle myself during such a long race. Did I mention that I'm signed up for Ironman CDA for next June?

I will be sure to give a race report for that.
