Packin' Up

I just got back in town last week and already I'm heading out!! Tomorrow I'm off to New Orleans for the inaugural 70.3! My parents and I are making the 10+ hour drive (and by that I mean I'll be sleeping in the back while they tote me south :-)).
This race will be a great benchmark for my current fitness level. While I have been able to ride outside for the past two months, I still don't feel like I'm back to the level I was at the end of the season last year. New Orleans is the first race of the year; a no pressure, dust off the cobwebs, have some fun with great friends type of race.
Several Louisville tri-stars will be racing Sunday including Larry, Aimee, Scott and Mark. Be on the lookout for 'em! My Team USA buddies will be out there with me too (sans Justin who's too cool for NO and is racing Oceanside instead).

Jill, Karen, and myself (the three in the middle) will battle it out in NO :-)

I'm supposed to be wearing a Trakker so you'll be able to watch online in real time to see exactly how I'm doing, my pace, where on the course I am, etc. I just hope my little blinking dot keeps moving forward!! More details on that to come.

Have a great weekend, train on homies!
