Kansas City Triathlon - First Race of the Season

Tomorrow is the KC Tri.  I am signed up for the sprint distance, 500m swim, 20K bike, 5K run. I really like the Olympic distance, but was wise enough to not sign up for a 1500m swim this early in the season. I've managed to get out into open water three times now, and the last time was the best confidence builder.
Liz intended for the IMLV ladies to "train through" this race, meaning no taper. Hannah, Mary J and I did a hard 50-mile ride yesterday. The wind was brutal. Ugh...I was hurting big time by the time I finally rolled into my driveway. I will have a good excuse for having a sucky race tomorrow. :)

As for the swim, I think I am ready. The game may totally change if it is very choppy tomorrow. Of course, when we did our practice swim on Tuesday, the lake was like glass. But, I keep telling myself it is only 500 meters. Just get through 500 meters!
