My kids will participate in their first ever triathlon for Miracle Treat Day this Thursday. I am so excited for them. They are so excited and they are counting down the days. It will be so much fun to watch. They will swim at the Hyland Park pool. Avery will do a 25 meter swim and the twins will either hop into the pool or splash in the splash pad. Then, we will head over to Hyland Park High School where Avery will ride a mile on the track on her bike and finish by running 200 meters on the track. The twins will ride 400 meters and do a 40 yard dash. All participants will get a TShirt, medal, free mini blizzard plus dozens of coupons for local vendors. All proceeds will go to help raise money for Miracle Treat Day and Gillette Children's hospital. Kudos to my friend Barb for not only hosting an awesome fundraising event each year, but also for coordinating with Gillette this year to create the kids TRI.
My triathlon is in 6 days. I had trouble sleeping last night because I am already getting amped up for it. Two weeks ago, I had one of the best training weeks ever. I felt great and ready for the race. Last week was a rough one. Mostly because I am still battling strep, but also because I have been doing strength training classes and one of my instructors kicked my butt! I have had tight, sore quads, hamstrings and glutes since last Tuesday! It affected every portion of my training last week and it really put me into a poor mindset. This week, I am focusing on tapering off, resting and eating right. Come Sunday, I expect to be refreshed, rejuvenated and ready to rock and roll!
