So, my next test is coming up tomorrow at the WIN for KC Tri. It will be my first competition open water swim since the debacle at Tinman. As it would go, my swim at Shawnee Mission Park was not as good as my previous one at Kill Creek. It seemed to take me a while to fully relax. There were quite a few women there getting doing their last chance workout and funny, I seemed to have gotten bumped around more by them than when there are more guys at the swimming hole.
Oddly, I am feeling much more acclimated to the heat. Prairie Punisher duathlon was last Saturday in 100 degree heat, but I felt pretty good about my performance there. My first 5K was my fastest of the season, and I tried to run it conservatively. I finally got my bike speed up to 18 mph which is HUGE for me. I was a slacker on the second 5K, but it was HOT!
The weather is supposed to break a little this weekend, hopefully. And the race is relatively short...500 meter, 10 miles, 5K so I won't be out there that long. I'm a little nervous, but I think it will be ok...
