This week has been a rough one -- lots of highs and lows to navigate. I'm getting the typical pre-race jitters that all the Ironman training books and blogs prepare you for -- doubts about your training, fixating on how hard the course will be, etc. I am continually reminding myself of all the work I've put in this year and that I will just do my best on race day.
This race seemed like a much better idea last year. Now that it's one week away, I'm wondering what I was thinking. But like I said, these thoughts are normal.
Another thing I'm finding is...what do I do with all this spare time? It feels weird to have a pool workout that takes less than 40 minutes when I'm used to staring at the bottom of the pool for up to 90 minutes. I've been able to allocate more time towards work, which is good because work seems to be treading more and more into my free time. Oh, and I've rediscovered Netflix. How I have missed you!
Looking forward to the moment when I cross the finish line. I still have to wait another week, but I have a feeling all of this will have been worth it in the end. I'll be sure to post my race info closer to the date so you can track me as I do my tortoise-like crawl across the course.
