I found this jacket in my favourite triathlon store and I had to have it. It's my pre-reward for Ironman Muskoka 70.3 and my motto during the race.
Final pre-race thoughts?
1. Stay calm. I am a bundle of nervous emotional energy. I just feel very excited and priveledged to do this! Hubs is very patient when I move from self-doubt to tears to excited energy (well I'm not that bad, but close)
2. I am setting no goals except to finish this one. I want to enjoy the event. It will be enough just to finish. I think it will take over 7 hours for me to complete this, but if it takes more, so be it.
3. Embrace the hills. The bike and run course are hilly. So I ***love*** hills. Repeat. I ***love*** hills.
4. Thanks for all the support. When I got into this triathlon beezznuss I had no idea how much time, energy, and money it would take to train for this race. Thanks to all of my friends (both virtual and not) who gave me support, words of encouragement. Ofcourse special thanks to Hubs who always supports everything I do 100%.
I promise to catch up on blogs soon. This week was also the first week back to work (school), so it was a busy one.
So its off I go. I am staying at a friends cottage who lives near the event, and our group is all doing the event, so it should be good to calm these crazy nerves of mine.
Thanks for reading and good luck to all those other racers this weekend!!
good luck! Can't wait to hear about it!

ReplyDeleteGood luck - harness that nervous energy. Hubs calls it excitement. You need to hold onto it for race time. Don't waste it on milling around the expo. It'll just make you more nervous. It's going to be great.

ReplyDeletegood afternoon everyone. I'm honestly into shoes and I have been looking for that meticulous model. The prices as regards the sneakers are approximately 250 pounds everwhere. But definitively I found this locate selling them for the benefit of half price. I absolutely love these [url=http://www.shoesempire.com]prada sneakers[/url]. I will probably buy them. what can you tell me about these?
ReplyDeleteHello. And Bye.
