Easy week!
Typical swim on Monday, easy 60 min run on Tuesday, LR on Wednesday, Easy 90 min ride on Thursday, Friday a swim, and Saturday off (went to see Max swim at college), then 3 hour ride on Sunday w/short run off the bike.
Highlight of the week? Watching Irene turn into a Triathlete! Of course she wasn't too keen on the swim, but I think we have the makings of the most reluctant triathlete that there ever was. She looked great on the ride and run, and was able to pass a ton of folks on both sections of the race.
More importantly? She helped to motivate me for my coming race. It's always easy for a coach to think that doing one of these races is really no big deal, but for the majority the first swim is always the hardest thing most first timers ever have to do.
To be able to face your fears and overcome them is no small feat. So hopefully I can match Irene's courage at Kona!

The question remains: what are you wearing at Kona?
FS-2 swim suit for the swim, then changing into a Zoot Tri-Top and my Pearl Izumi shorts (unless I find a better pair at the Expo). The race shoes for the run has been the hardest to decide. Once I wore the Saucony's for awhile they hurt my arches after 15 miles, the same was also true with the NB 825's....so it looks like the Mizuno Wave Riders will be the one. Right amount of arch, but could use a bit more cushion at the forefoot!
Best of luck in Kona, and again, nice to meet you in person!
