Panic attack

Good morning followers, I was feeling rather weary last night as I completed 58 miles on the bike and a 30 minute run. I panicked as that was all I had in me. My tank was empty and I just about cried thinking about how in the world will I be able to do a half marathon and swim?

After consulting with Mr. P, he reminded me that I should feel exhausted and that what I really need to focus on is pacing and some recovery before the race. I then watched stage 8 Tour de France yesterday and saw some serious suffering, which allowed me to tell anxiety, fear and self doubt to #$ off!

Speaking of recovery-my taper schedule is not a picnic. While there is more rest built in, there looks to be a few challenges as well. Will keep you posted but I can tell you this for certain-I have no scheduled days at the spa whaaaaa!!!!!

So this morning my legs felt way better. I think I must be getting stronger or my pain threshold is increasing as even 2 weeks ago I would have been in distress after having done such a long ride. My morning workout consisted of a swim-which I must say was awesome as it felt great not to have any force being directly applied to my body. Today is a day where I could actually say, that I loved the water. A year ago I would have burst out laughing if someone told me that I would say that!

So for the rest of today, I plan on hitting the beach with my better half and kids and play! No wet suit will be put on......until tomorrow!
