COMMUTE 3 miles home
I pushed a little more today so I didn't stop at an uneven number. Like yesterday. Another great ride, this time included an out-n-back on Wydown. I'd forgotten about the construction mess there with the water mains. But I got it done and this ride felt great.
This morning I received a surprising email!!
Congratulations. You have qualified for the Olympic-Distance race at the 2014 USA Triathlon Age Group National Championships on August 9 in Milwaukee, Wis., after finishing in the top 10 percent in your age group at the Cutting Edge Half Classic.
OMG!! This possibility never crossed my mind! And since TH also won her AG, she qualified as well. She really wants to go. So do I, but it's 2 weeks before my A race, $160, and a weekend of travel. I'm thinking on it. But it had me smiling for the whole bike ride and most of the day. I've qualified before, at the 2011 Last Chance race but IM CDA and the Vermont location prevented me from even thinking about it. I'll think on it more.
Now I'm also thinking about camping for the race on Saturday. Just what I need -- more variables and errands when I'm already short on time and energy. DH offered to go tonight after dinner, but it was 6:30pm by then and I knew I wouldn't make it. I'm hitting that iron fatigue phase.
