Nervous

Well my official first race of the season is on for tonight-the short course duathalon. I am very nervous about this, and ate a whole bunch more waffles this morning! I don't normally excersise in the evening and am usually in bed by 9pm. This duathalon begins at 630pm, so I am going to be one tired girl! My biggest contemplation is whether to take an energy shot or Gu as these containe caffeine. I know if I do, I may be up half the night. On the other hand, if I don't I just might not be alert enough-and that would be bad on the bike!

I did a longish swim without my fins this morning (60 laps) and felt really good. My stroke today just felt right-but my kick still sucks! I found out from Mr. P that the first triathalon last year the water temperature was 13 degrees c. I really don't know how I am going to hack this-my wetsuit better hold up!

Sorry for the short post, but I can't seem to focus, and I've got to get a grip! Serenity now!

  2. I am picturing the look on both Michael and Mom's face when they see you walking around the house in your wetsuit with bottles of empty PAM about the place!!
    I am sending positive vibes at you now as you are probably running right now
