Final Workout And Flashback

My trainer decided to cancel on me today so I could rest up for my tri. My tri coach had told me I could train or do an easy brick, and since training was out, I settled in on the brick.

20 minute run
30 minute bike

Super easy. It felt good. It calmed me down. I thought a ton about what I want out of this tri, what I'm worried about, why I'm worried. One of my favorite things about running is pulling apart problems. I felt loads better when I was done.

Three years ago I did this same triathlon, on a whim. I hadn't swam laps...ever. I was on a borrowed bike I didn't know how to use. I had a great time.







I'm way faster now, at everything. This is good, because...duh. But, it adds more pressure, because now I expect things of myself. That's all pretty new, a little bit stressful, but...it's good.

And, all my nerves will melt away Saturday morning at 8:17am when my wave starts, and I get to focus on kicking ass and leaving it all out there.

  8. Your teachers held you to high expectations, and you exceeded them, so it's only logical, that you would hold yourself to those same high standards. Dazzle, 'em, Rose!
