The Apex

It's been almost 2 months since my last triathlon! Starting to go crazy! While I have definitely enjoyed this time of nothing but non stop training, I am way more than ready to wake up at absurd hours in the morning just to go subject myself to crazy amounts of sweat, cramps, and throw up. Racing is addicting. It is awesome. It is fun in ways no one can understand until you do it yourself.

Anyway! Back to the point of this post... My next race, River Cities Triathlon, is just over 2 weeks away!! It is my "big race" of the year that I have put all of my effort into training for. Not necessarily "big" as in distance (Heatwave was longer and potentially one more later in the season), but big as in the race itself, and how well I plan to do. It's my A race. Mainly because it's just the perfect distance. Not Olympic long, but not Soak up the Sun short. It'll be hard, but nothing I can't do or haven't done before. Sooo since it is only 2 weeks out, this week and into next week I am at my apex of training for it! It's peak week! :D Meaning I train train train, multiple times a day, every day of the week. (It's very exciting)



I don't know if I have ever been as excited for a race as I am for this one! Like... I can't even describe it. It's awesome. BUT... it will be VERY hot. August in Shreveport? Yeaaahhh... Not sure how much that will mess with at least my running. But with the amount of excited I am for this, I don't think I'll have any problem pushing through it. :P

Well in other news right now? Le Tour De France is currently going on!! :D I am obsessed with it I think. It is so interesting to watch and keep up with... as well as motivating. Watching them ride hours and hours each day for 3 weeks?? I have nothing to complain about! Also, this may be kinda weird, but I think it's so cool; I LOVE the vintage Tour posters and pictures! Like back from the first few years of it's existence? SO CUTE! Here a some of my favorites:





I don't know, I just like them :)

Well that is all! Thank you for reading!
