This Sunday, just one week after my blazing AFC Half Marathon, I’m racing in my fourth triathlon, a sprint:

500-m (about 0.3 miles) swim, 15K (about 9.3 miles) bike, 5K (3.1  miles) run.

My goal for the race is 0:59:59. I really want to get the Sprint distance under the 1-hour.

It will be very challenging given that I’m still tired from the half marathon. Today I worked late, and didn’t leave the office until 5:30 PM, leaving me only half an hour to get to La Jolla High School for the track workout. I decided to go home instead and do an equivalent 2.5-mile run in my neighborhood. During the run, my legs felt heavy. I felt tired and a little out of breath. In any case, feeling tired before this Sunday’s triathlon is well worth the PR I set at last Sunday’s half marathon.

I basically have the same goals as the Solana Beach race. I have two more chances this summer to get my sprint tri time under the hour mark.

Wish me luck!
