Off to St. George Triathlon

The St. George Triathlon is this weekend. I am off to race. Last night, I had a crash on my bike. This is not so good prior to a race. I held onto my bike and so it came away without anything wrong with it. Luckily, I had on cold weather gear and it saved me from road rash. I fell onto my left shoulder, leaving it a little sore and tight. My quads have a few bruises on them. But all-in-all, I am in pretty good shape. I think my shoulder will be fine by race day.

I will be bringing my bike down to Racer's to have a once over after the wreck. I just want to make sure everything is perfectly adjusted. I had recently purchased a Bontrager Race X Lite Aero Wheelset with a Power Tap from Mad Dog Cycles. Those wheels are bomb proof.

About the race, it is an olympic distance course. I raced the course last year at the Utah Summer Games. I did not do well on the course. I am much better trained this year than last. I am hoping to take a lot of time off my former course personal record. I am not putting too much pressure on myself with these shorter races. I am a long-course athlete. I am focusing on Vineman and Ironman Florida. So I am going out to race hard but still have fun.
