Well its that time. My rest and relaxation is over and it is time to get back to work. My two weeks off from running is over and as of today I have less than 60 days to get ready for Half Ironman Galveston on April 1. Its the official kickoff to my triathlon season in 2012.
It seems like a decent amount of time, but I know it is going to be here before I know it. I am excited for this years race for many reason but the chance for comparison being the first. Last years Half Ironman in Galveston was my first, and I am anxious to have another benchmark to compare my improvement against. I try not to get too wrapped up in certain performance expectations. I have learned in pretty much all aspects of my life the minute I get excited about something I usually end up getting let down and disappointed. So when it comes to races I try to temper my excitement and my expectations.
With that being said I would be lying if I said I didn't have a specific goal in the back of my mind for this years race. And it might be a pretty ambitious one so that is why I think it be best if it stays an unspoken goal until after race day.
Regardless I have less than 60 days to put myself in position to achieve it. Its going to be a lot of work, but damn its going to be fun.
