Ready to start training for a great 2009 multi-sport season

Saturday

So the 2009 season is finally upon us.  I have been anticipating this season ever since the end of my 2008 season.  I have a great duathlon planed to start off the season.  The Du (5K/18M/5K) will take place in Denver, CO in the Cherry Creek State Park.  The race which hosts 500 multisport athletes also boasts a strong elite field.  This race will be my debut for racing with the elite athletes.  I am very nervous and am planning on running my own race.  The game plan is to run a 17:30 opening 5K, settle in on the bike and put out a strong 25mph average, and finish up the final 5K trying to pick off any athletes in front of me.  I am hoping for the best and am very optimistic about the whole experience.  I will post results on Sunday May 10th.  Stay tuned in for further updates.
