3 days until race day

The Graniteman Triathlon is now 3 days away, and I'm pumped! I feel I'm more prepared for this triathlon than I was the Buffalo triathlon I competed in just over a month ago, plus I now know what to expect. While I have not practiced any combos (bike then run) this time, I feel in much better shape than when I competed in the Buffalo triathlon.

Last night I completed my final bike training. I was able to complete a 14 mile bike route in just over 44 minutes, that's pretty good. Today I will complete my final practice run, and tomorrow I will finish my training with a swim at the pool.

I put some thought into a goal for the Graniteman, and while the goal will challenge me, I believe it is attainable. My goal is 1 hour and 30 minutes. The distances again are as follows:

• Swim 1/3 mile
• Bike 15 miles
• Run 3.2 miles
