This week I leave for state #33, New Mexico. Especially exciting is the fact that my mom, my cousins from San Diego and my good friend from Texas will be be joining me there. #33 is turning into a sort of party.
The other interesting fact about this race is that it is a backwards triathlon. The usual order of events is swim, bike, run. But for some reason this Coyote Carrera Triathlon is run the opposite way. So instead on Saturday, I will run, bike and swim. I have no idea how that will feel or how I will do; I am excited to try something different. Having done so many races, it is easy for me to fall into a routine and get kind of bored. This will stretch me, take me out of my comfort zone and provide me with a new challenge. How fun is that? Stay tuned.
