I guess now is the time. One year ago I was in Kona and it was wonderful and amazing trip.
This season, the 2013 season was different. Nothing long and everything short! Only sprint and olympic distances and some real fun ones like the Hopkin's Vineyard triathlon! A sprint distance with a glass of wine at the end.
And a trip to Florida for the St Anthony's triathlon which was a blast
The National Championship in Milwaukee was an amazing experience. Next year I am planning to go back, with hopefully a few team mates as Worlds will be in Chicago in 2015!
The end of the season though has been amazing for me as I did something I have never done before a charity ride for a great cause, no race planned but a very challenging beautiful very hilly course! I did the Charter Oak Foundation Challenge Bike Tour. The Charter Oak Foundation raises money for our neighbors children in Bridgeport to get them a great education and hopefully a better life.
The Tour was very well organized and beautiful but so hilly! Saturday was 100 miles to Lakeville through some amazing areas. Sunday was 82 miles through some really beautiful areas of CT but so hilly! It was a real challenge for me as since Kona I had not ridden more than 40 miles in one go (the week before)!
I loved the experience not a race, very humbling and I made new great friends!
Day 2! at lunch time!
So what is planned for 2014?
Well nationals in August in Milwaukee and hopefully World in 2015 in Chicago! all the local triathlons possible and the Charter Oak foundation ride...with training ;-) or not as I did survived ...
