St. A's part two...

All in all it was a great trip. The Mad Dog tri club are awesome. Something like 3300 athletes, which totally dwarfs anything around here.

I arrived in Tampa on Thursday night with a very sore throat which had been bugging me since Tuesday. I was having a hard time swallowing in and just hoping it would be gone by Sunday.

I think today is the fist day I can say I officially feel 100%.

So, and this is the land and only time I will say this cause I don't dig on excuses and usually in one way or another it's your own damn fault, however, considering I had been sick since Tuesday, had a minor get off on the bike, and swam like ass I'm pretty glad to get the first race weekend out of the way.

Now, on to Wildflower and a successful season. It seems you never get the rewards without paying your dues. I'd like to think I'm payed up for a while now.

On the up side, I just did a little run session of 3xmile and was feeling really strong and just cruising. So, at least the fitness is there. I think that was all I needed to get my confidence back up.
