Personal GrowTH-ursday: Race Times

Well, it's sub four days til the shhh..big race, So.. let's talk about the actual race and times. But before I get to my general times,  I want to give a lil' background as to how UBER fast the other ladies in my house are. So, let me just tell you this:

1. Last year at Vineman (in ~98 degree heat,) the top 5 AGE GROUPERS in my 35-40 Age Group raced under 5 hours. FIVE freakin' hours!!! That's insane.

2. The Top TWENTY in just my age group were under 5:30 hr finish time. Again... insane.

3. Former age groupers who turn Pros a year later like Charisa race this thing...


So...you're not gonna see any... 'OMG! I Just Podium-ed at Vineman!' over here. Oh, contraire mon fraire. But I do have an idea of what I'd like my times to be, so I'll put it out there for the world to dissect  see;-):

Swim: ~37:30'
T1- ~2:30'
Bike: ~19-20 mph ave, so btwn 2:40-2:50
T2- ~2'
Run: ~8:15-8:30 min/miles, so ~1:50 total run time

Total time: 5:40-5:50.

There. I said it. That' what's in my head. But with so many variables laid out through out the day...who knows? What I do know is that I want to remember this: 

No one cares how fast I am except myself. 

What matters is this journey. 

  Keep the vision of my lil' girl running her heart out in my head. 

The End.
