July 26/27 was a double race weekend for me and a double PB - I was over the moon excited!! I needed to race under tired legs on the Sunday so I did what any normal person would do and signed up for a 5km on Saturday night. I have a love-hate relationship with 'later in the day' races. Hate waiting for them, love it when I'm actually racing. I walked away from Saturday night with a 5km PB and tired legs, but produced on Sunday morning's tri. Goal accomplished!
First official race under the Oiselle wing!
(PB's don't always produce the best expressions do they?)

It had been a long time since I PB'd in a tri...!

Recovery week was spent hitting the trails with Javelin daddy for a little mountain biking. I'm still a chicken, but I'll take any opportunity I have for a ride with my honey!
(Note to self: when preparing for the biggest race of the year in less than a month,
maybe don't crash on your mountain bike!)

As does in any training and racing plan there is usually ups and downs; my race mid-August was not the outcome I had hoped for - but sometimes those are the ones that help us most. We get out of our comfort zone, we push and down the line that is where we punch through!
I'm one week out from worlds and ready to rock!
