2013 Triathlon Season


This weekend marks the 4 week countdown to the start of my 2013 triathlon season.  Base season is long gone and the workouts are tougher both mentally and physically.  Complicating my build phase, however, is popliteus tendonitis, which after lingering for two months, has me beyond frustrated.  My swim and bike training has not been impacted to any great degree, but my run volume and intensity is dramatically reduced.  Regardless, my enthusiasm for the approaching race season grows greater by the week.  Saturday I watched the online coverage of USAT Collegiate Nationals and certainly felt the race day energy.


This season I'll be concentrating my efforts on local sprint and olympic distance races.  The majority will be part of the Set Up Events Series, with a few other races scattered throughout.  Without further ado, here's my racing lineup for 2013.
