Lots has happened between last week and this week. I managed to try a supplement (Hammer Perpetuum) and had a good breakfast before hand, and rode my fastest 50miler thus far. I bought a wetsuit of my own so I’ll be more prepared in being comfortable in wetuits swimming outside (and booties, and a neoprene cap, as well as swimming gloves). I know that gloves are not allowed in competitions but since the water here outside is chilly, and I want to start OWS’s somewhat soon, I wand to be warm in cold water. I also started seening my triathlon coach again to help prepare more for Timberman, since it is a different type of race than Mooseman (different course I mean). And, since she is an amazing mountain biker, she’ll help with preparation for mountain bike races–my first being June 10th, the first of the New York State Mountain Bike Series.
