What a week! I realize that I'm posting this a little later today than I normally do. It's been a crazy week starting with a triathlon I did on Sunday. I thought I would write about it because it's the same course being used for the Danskin Women's Triathlon next month in Webster MA or so I've been told. Definitely check it out on-line for yourself though! It's a pretty big deal out here in New England, and I know a couple of New England Mamas who plan on being in the race. I won't name names just in case you've changed your mind, though!
Honestly, I had been pretty worried about this course. I take that back. I had been specifically worried about one part of the course: the biking. It seems like people who didn't even know what sports are in a triathlon knew one thing about the Webster triathlon: the hill in the biking. I kept hearing about the dread hill. It sounded like cycling up this hill should be a sport of its own. I was so nervous about this hill that my hands were shaking the night before the triathlon when I was pumping my tires and I let out all of my pride and self-confidence the air in my front tire. There may be some rumors that I then freaked out because I thought I had a flat. I have no idea what that was all about, and since my husband was out of town for most of this week, he is also not in a position to confirm the rumor even if it were true.
Back to this hill, I am breaking from the pack, as it were, and writing this post to tell you not to worry about it. Really, it was not that bad. I was picturing something like Mt. Everest so honestly I didn't even know I had gone over it. When I looked back (figuratively) I know which hill it must have been, but at the time I didn't think it was The hill. Good luck and have a great time. It really is a fun course and I loved the swimming part.
