Todde's Tri Blog

today was the big race for texas and the headline will read CANCELLED!!!!!!!!!! Due to some nasty rains the captextri was called off. its some of the worst rains i have ever had to stand in. and i stood in them for close to 2 hrs. it was obvious the swim wasnt going to happen but the rain never let up so the entire thing was ax'd. i am really disappointed b/c i wasnt going to race it but knowly how big this race is for triathlon in TX i ponied up the $120 a few weeks back and now i have nothing to show for it. on the otherhand i am glad b/c my shoulder and knees have really been bothering anf with a hard effort today i would have been in bad shape for at least a week. i really wanted to push for a 2:10 finish but it will have to wait until the austin tri downtown on labor day. for now its time to focus on the half in lubbock next month. time to lentghen out the training sessions and shorten the # of them accordingly. the big thing is for me the get my long runs and bikes back up in time for this race.
