I am leaving today! Its strange to think I will be in Germany tomorrow!

Yesterday I went for a 90min run, just me, my music and the beautiful countryside. It was really great, one of the best runs I have done here. I listened to the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. I thought about all the great training I have done here and how much fun it has been.

Now I am looking forward to my next adventure in Europe! I think time will go abit quicker over there as I have more races in this block.

Next weekend I race Hamburg World Champs Series, I am looking to have another good swim/bike and be comfortably in the front pack - the swim could possibly be a wetsuit swim, which will make it interesting as it usually evens out the feild and brings the weaker swimmers up. On the run I just want to focus on myself, my rhythm and try step up another level from Des Moines race! Cant wait!
