First 1/2 Ironman Coming Up... Iron Star Triathlon Del Lago Resort I have been in full swing training for the last few weeks for my first half Ironman Race. I will be competing in The Ironstar Triathlon in Conroe, Texas on Sunday, October 29. I am excited for the challenge of a longer distance tri - I will have to be careful about nutrition for this race. It usually takes about 5 hours to complete one of these. I have been extremely tired, but thankful my body has been adjusting well to the increased volume. I have also enjoyed taking my son with me on most of my distance and easy runs. David just gets on his bike armed with his helmet and water bottle - he is so focused and works hard to go exactly the right speed to keep me going and to give me water when I need it. He is the best training partner a girl can have! |
