2 days, mental, phyiscal, gear, fear

I have some new people joining in the fun here - so hello! :)

2 days now.

The bike needs to be washed, oiled and set up today.

I went to pick up my Wetsuit from Way Past Fast and they didn't have the one I'd rented previously. Apparantly someone hadn't returned it yet. So they 'upgraded' me to an Ironman wetsuit which the woman at the store said would fit more comfortably.

Grrrrreat.... as long as it fits?

I'll try it on tonight - if it doesn't I'll be going back to the store.

I rode my bike to the running clinic last night. Didn't run with them but chatted with people. The bike ride was good - my legs felt sort of - anxious - like they wanted to get going.

I have no idea how I'm going to do this. Do you? I'll just pull up from some mental toughness. I'll visualize positive things tonight and tomorrow night. I'll trust in my training. I'll trust in my body.

But let me tell you - I'm so freaked out - I could puke.

OMG I can actually feel your tension and excitement and nerves through your writing!!

Thinking of you!

In fact I was thinking of you this morning when the news mentioned the cyclist who had sadly died from heat stroke during a race in Bragg Creek......tragic....

This weekend is going to be a hot one - please take care!

It's funny, if you read all of our blogs we are all saying the same thing. Take care of yourself and I'll see you out there!
