Getting Ready

I have my wetsuit rented. I have my tri-suit and my race number belt. Holmes is ready as well as can be expected. His chain falls off now and then. Maybe just a tune up by Don. Im registered. I should confirm that. Next week is camping and I plan to do lots of training although its will be hard to find good biking roads. Then one week of tapering and then the race! Yikes!!! Whenever I think about it I get so nervous....and excited. I've been training since February! Where did the time go? What am I going to do when it all done??? It will be nice to not have pressure and just train for pure enjoyment. We'll have to see how it goes. Maybe I will be so excited and want to improve my times for next year or else I will say...I am never doing THAT again. We'll see. I just want to complete the dang thing in one piece!

Im Getting Nervous!!!

The long weekend turned out to be nice weather afterall.
Friday- Swam 40 lengths.
Saturday- Me and Don went for a 30K bike ride on the bike path which is not as fast as the road but still a good workout...and also we stopped at Darlington Park for an ice cream. tee hee
Monday- I ran 15 K by myself. This is the longest Ive gone since my injury. It went quite well but I am still sore in my injury area but not too bad. I just went slow and steady.

Tuesday - I swam for 40 lengths. I walked to the pool and back home afterwards because it was such a nice night. Looking forward to doing some open water swims when I go camping next week. I want to get a flutter board because I need to work on my kick.

Wednesday- I did my usual 17K bike ride.

Tonight I will try and fit a run in. But it might be difficult. I have appointments. I am starting to feel nervous. Its only 2 1/2 weeks away! Yikes!!!!
