Longmont Triathlon Preview
Aaron Kamnetz
Well, my second ITU Pan American Cup race is now less than 5 days away. I made it out to Colorado safely and am staying with the Patch family who are close family friends. I got here to Denver yesterday morning and was able to get into a pool shortly there after. I can tell that the air is thinner here, but it isn't affecting me as badly as I had thought it would. I plan to go for a run here later today and then take another trip over to the pool and see how that goes.
As for what he race looks like, it is going to be very fast again, just like it was in Geneva. While last time we had former Olympians, this time we also have the top ranked (as in top 6) Americans who also happen to be in the top 50 in the world (including for those following the sport in general, Kemper, Potts, Jarrod S., etc). The quality of field is going to be a real treat. I had said that I wanted to prove my worth in this race, and with this kind of competition, I am sure going to get my chance. I feel good, and I feel fit. It should be a fun time with a great performance from me as well.
On an unrelated note, the summer swim season just recently ended back in Madison with the All-City swim meet (which was much more draining than I had anticipated) where my 13-14 boys and girls won the title. I had a lot of fun coaching all the groups I worked with this summer. It was more enjoyable than I could have ever expected, and I already miss it.
Anyways, I'll shoot you all an update on Sunday after the race or Monday morning after I get my feet back underneath me.
Take care!
