T-Minus 24 Hours

Ok, I'll stop building this up so dramatically, we all know Ironmans are slow moving endurance events and only NBC with the help of 25 cameras and 17 heartbreaking stories can make these events exciting for anyone to watch. But still, my first HIM is tomorrow morning and I sit in my cousin's beautiful home (Thanks Mel!) wondering what tomorrow will bring.

So far several thoughts have crossed my head and I won't bore you with them, but surprisingly, I've been very calm when thinking about the race and the distance. I've been visualizing the race all this week and working through any possible problem areas ahead of time. Now, I realize that actual race will be different and subject to several different variables that were not present in my head, like the weather (just checked it, and its supposed to be t-storms!), but I WILL REMAIN CALM.

Mantras for the day tomorrow:
Swim: Just keep swimming, just keep swimming. What do we do? We swim, swim, swim.
Bike: Relax, don't do it, when you want to go to it. Relax, don't do it...
One bottle per hour...One bottle per hour...
Run: Just keep putting one foot in front of the other!

So, that's the plan, let's put this baby into action! (and please let there be good weather, I have yet to race in good conditions this year for a triathlon!)

See you back on Monday and thanks for all your support!
