Dallas Pictures
Well, late is better than never I guess! My mom was nice enough to send these pics from the US Open in Dallas 2 weekends ago (seems like the race was more like months ago!) so I thought I would share...
Here's Reinaldo, my Brazilian Olympian swimming friend, and I during our Saturday pre-race swim. He's just a bit taller than me. (you may note I'm standing on higher ground too)
The big screen awaiting us at the finish line in downtown Dallas. The finish was at the American Airlines Arena, where the Dallas Mavericks play.
Trying to negotiate Scotty into T2.
At the start of the run.
My new friends! Great athletes and people and the best part of the trip!
In other news, training has been going well! My last race of the season is approaching quickly which seems so odd to me because it really feels like I was just getting ready for the FIRST race of the season! Time flys. Always does. Anyway, this last race is an "A" race which means BIG taper which means I'm already on the downslide!
Today doesn't feel like much of a taper because I have hard bike intervals AND hard run intervals and a moderate swim. But Monday was just masters practice (went well!) and yesterday was off. So yes, the taper is on.
Speaking of those hard run intervals though...better get started soon before the football team takes over the track!
Have a great night everyone!
