Preview: Belwood Sprint Triathlon

Signed up for this on a whim... I enjoy races, and I didn't like the idea of going 8 weeks between triathlons in the middle of the summer.

This will be my last triathlon before Ironman Canada.

Swim: 1000m
Bike: 30k
Run: 7k

It's a little longer than a typical sprint distance triathlon, but shorter than an Olympic distance.

It was suggested to me that brick workouts are not very useful when your goal is simply to finish Ironman, as you won't be roaring off the bike. Therefore I haven't done very many, and this will be where my challenge likely lies.

Goals? Have some fun, get some experience, and hopefully get a decent time (around 2 hours). I'm not tapering for this or anything, so expectations are low.
