Um... Yikes. Several months ago, I signed up for Wildflower, figuring that it would be a good way to motivate myself to get back into shape. Now, I'm less than 5 weeks out (33 days as of today). I think it's going to be ugly. The weather has not been very cooperative here. The rain has been a constant, and it has been cold. Saturday, I was going to ride for 3 hours outside, but when I woke up, it was pouring, and 39 degrees. Not wishing to relive the Great Hypothermia ride, I chose to spend 2.5 hours on the CT, riding the Wildflower course. It's hard! I have ridden the CT course several times before, but found an updated one, which looks like the course profile on the website, so I uploaded it on Friday.
Right now, I know that the swim is doable, but won't be in record time, and the bike is doable, but also not in record time. My concern at this point is the run after the bike. I haven't felt much like running in the cold rain, so haven't been doing enough of it. I'm planning to try and put some miles in while in Bend this week, and see if I can get a bit of confidence off of that.
