BAM Pre-Race Report

Thought I'd get a little BAM pre-race report written up. The next tri I'm doing is the Battle at Midway tri this coming Saturday June 13th - at Deer Creek / Midway Utah. A few weekends ago we went with a group and did a pre-race clinic that involved swim instruction, about 1000M of light swimming in the reservoir, followed by the 21-mile bike course and 3.6-mile trail run. I'm really stoked to race this course altho I do have reservations about the trail run and my nagging patellar tendonitis. I've been wearing a knee brace that helps immensely, and I'm planning on wearing it during the race.

Here are a few of my unofficial distance times: 800M swim @ 16:00, 5k run @ ~23:00, and 23-mile bike course @ 1:15:00 (avg ~18.4 MPH, with 1500 feet of total ascend/descend). Quite the difference compared to where I was 9 months ago.

Also looking to do the Scofield Sprint event in late July, and then finishing off the season with an Oly-distance Tri down in Daybreak.
