Well less than two days until the big race!
This week has been tough! I have been SO exhausted and my legs feel like lead, but I haven’t done very many workouts!! I got in a 5 mile run on Saturday in Chicago, a 3 mile run on Tuesday and a 2 mile run on Thursday but that is pretty much it. I did a short swim on Monday and a small bike ride Monday and really short one on Wednesday.
It is strange that my legs feel so tired because I have gotten a lot of sleep (minus last night), and my appetite has been through the roof, too! I think that has a lot to do with my nerves, although the extra food just makes me more nervous!
I am so many things…excited, nervous, scared, anxious. I know it is only a sprint distance, but it is my first and I do not totally know what to expect! I know, individually, I can complete all the events and have pretty much tried out the course (minus the swim). But, what will it be like doing all three events, moving for 2 straights hours? Have I done enough? Will I be well rested? Will I remain calm during the swim?
I know I can’t answer most of these questions until it is all said and done. So I am excited for Sunday to arrive! It’s been a busy week with social events and getting things together at the house. My sister and mom arrive tomorrow as well.
I guess this is more of a ranting post – just wanted to touch base before the race. Hopefully the next post will be filled with excitement after trying my first triathlon in Colorado!! Have a great weekend :-)
