Go Linae!

I'm in awe of the amazing effects of Linae's weight loss and her progress toward her ambitious athletic goals. YOU GO!!

Just out of idle curiosity, I took a look at the results from past years for my next triathlon, Columbia (Olympic distance), coming up in 66 days.

Top 3 Athena 40+
2005: 3:57
2004: 3:29
2003: 3:16

Top 10 age group (45-49):
2005: 3:09:18
2004: 2:48:54
2003: 3:28:03

Most improved award:
2004: -36:13 (For me, that would be 3:30:45)
2003: -12.2% (For me, that would be 3:36:50)

Wow. Those are all over the board - some within reach, some far beyond what I can expect in 66 days from now. I guess the only solution is to just keep training hard and do my best on race day, eh?

You could break 4 hours at Columbia. You know it.

Well, hopefully the 4:00 is well within reach.

It's that 2:48 that has me a little skeptical. :-)
