The big race of my season is just a few days away. I'm filling up with excitement and anticipation. It's going to be my first draft legal race with the Quebec elite in Drummondville for a sprint triathlon.
I'm feeling pretty confident about the swim. Practicing with my wetsuit I was flying over the water effortlessly. I want to stay with the main pack as long as possible.
I am a little nervous for that first transition. I've never really properly practiced getting out of my wetsuit, so Saturday is really going to be a first. I also need a quick smooth transition onto the bike. Jump on, get my feet in the shoes, get some speed and go! Catching a good draft on the bike will be key! I think I am going to go practice my transitions tomorrow morning and then take a short workout on the circuit.
My goal for the day is to be close (within a couple minutes) of the leaders off the bike. If things don't go according to plan I have a month to make adjustments before the next race in Quebec City!

Best of luck to all competing athletes, especially McGill Triathletes!
