Hypercat Racing

I did it.  I hired a coach.  OK, some of you may be thinking...why would I do that?  Because I'm lazy, that's why.  I haven't been motivated at all to get out & do what I have previously done in the past.  Of course I'm not some big athlete, but I am getting to the point where I'd like to compete in different types of events (70.3 Ironman races, Alcatraz, 13.1 marathons, etc.) & I know that I am not as motivated as I used to be.

I found them through some basic research on Facebook & Twitter.  I spoke with one of their coaches, Rachel, & she seemed really cool & very qualified.  I looked over what she had to say & their website & I did it.  I filled out all of the paperwork & sent it off to California yesterday.

Actually, the main reason I decided to get a coach is that I am really nervous about the Alcatraz swim.  I've heard from a few that have done it that there's no need to worry, but I'm a worrier, so I worry!  After speaking with Rachel, I still have some worries, but I know that I've been a lifelong swimmer & the distance will be a piece of cake.

I'm waiting patiently to get my hands on my Alcatraz training plan & get to work.  I will keep everyone posted on my progress, or lack of progress (lets hope not) in the coming months.  I think I only have about 130 days left til the big day!  Wow, that's just crazy.
