Since I thought I was to begin my winding down from collegiate racing, I chose to enter a local traithlon. Training was kind of interesting since I found out that I had qualified for the Collegiate Mountain Bike National Championships. I had to focus more on weight loss than trying to find my running legs. I still did well in my opinion getting 6th in my age catagory (9th in swimming, 2nd on the bike, and 11th in the run). Now I look forward to training completely for mountain biking, but I do plan on competing more seriously for other triathlons next season.
