The Road To Rev3 Knoxville
Wednesday, May 5th, 2010
I realized that I haven’t officially announced it here, but this is long overdue.
I’m kicking off the 2010 tri season this weekend in Knoxville!
Friday morning, long before the sun rises, I’ll be in my car making the almost 1,000 mile journey down to the other side of the Mason Dixon line. Fifteen hours (God I hope it doesn’t actually take me that long) in the car with just my thoughts, my bike and my iPod. I hear Lady Gaga is good company.
Not only will I get to witness the Trakkers vs. Trek/KSwiss showdown play out in person, but I’ll get to hang out with a TON of my Trakkers, bloggy and twitter friends for the whole weekend. It is going to be tough focusing on actually racing instead of just hanging out with teammates all weekend, but it will be a fun challenge to try and balance. Plus, we issued a challenge to two other age group triathlon teams and it will be fun laying some hurtin’ on them.
I’ll be racing the Oly on Sunday morning. I’m not even going to bother making goals since I have NO clue what is going to happen. I feel like I’m the fittest I’ve been in a really long time, but it has all been ironman-focused. How well does that translate into olympic distance speed? I guess we will find out. All I’m going to say that I feel like a PR might be possible.
No matter what, if I’m driving that far to race, I’m leaving it ALL out on the course. I’ve got no reason to hold back.
I’ll try to blog a little bit over the weekend, but much more info will be up on my twitter account. Check that for all my Rev3 Knoxville adventure/road trip updates.

Have a great race on Sunday, Jamie! Thanks for taking one for the team and showing up.
Wish I could be there to join in the fun but I’ll have to live vicariously through all the blogposts instead. Good luck!
