Data overload

The start times are up. I am in wave #16 of 34, starting at 6:48am.  yuck–that’s actually 30 minutes later than I had hoped.  Women 35-39 are the next to last women to start. That totally sucks. It means that lots of testosterone fueled lunatics will be screaming at me during the bike leg: “ON YOUR LEFT. MOVE OVER TO YOUR RIGHT!” Pinheads.  They expect you to jump the curb for them.  So I’ll be starting the race at 6:48. I feel sorry for the men (age 45-49) who are in waves 33 and 34 who are starting at 8:31am and 8:35am, but who have to be out of the transition area, where all their race equipment is, by 5:45am.  With any luck I’ll be crossing the finish line with the winner of that age group.

My week will be different than I had expected due to a death in my family.  My mother’s first cousin died of lung cancer yesterday, so my mother will be staying with me Wed-Fri AM and we’ll go to the funeral on Thursday. I’m not sure that I’ll be able to fit in another workout before Friday because I want to be able to spend good quality time with the mother. She was close to this cousin and family stuff is more important than a race. Still, I am a litle thrown off.

For entertainment, I have been looking at this website. It is the best calculator EVER: http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/rununiv/mcmillanrunningcalculator.htm
