Garmin-sponsored triathlete Jenna Shoemaker shares her training and racing experiences with the Garmin Edge 705 and Forerunner 310XT.

My season is now over!  After 7 months of racing, I am definitely ready for a little R&R before I start building back up towards the 2010 season. It was an immensely successful year with my first international win in April followed by 2nd place finishes at both the Pan American Championships and the US Pro Nationals. It was a year of learning and growing for me and I am really looking forward to what next year will bring. 

For the next few weeks I will be taking care of all my weak areas so that I can be injury-free and racing even faster next year. My Garmin devices (Edge 705 and Forerunner 310XT) won't get a complete break because I will still do a bit of riding and swimming, just enough to keep me moving and sane, but am going to try really hard to enjoy the break because it will be the last real "time off" I get from now until the London Olympics. 

Next week, I fly to Sin City (yes, Las Vegas!) for the Interbike event. It will be my first Interbike experience and I am really looking forward to seeing all of the bikes, wheels, helmets, aerobars and other new products that will be hitting the market next year. Beyond ogling over the bike parts, I will be floating around the event, stopping in at the Garmin booth and doing an autograph signing at the 3T booth on Thursday afternoon. I'm looking forward to the little adventure and hoping I don't get lost inside the demo hall!
