Two days until the tri...

Its Thursday, and my triathlon is this Saturday! YIKES! I'll admit I'm nervous. I'm at work today and we are pretty busy since I'll be gone for the next week. It helps to be busy, but to be honest I'd rather be out of here and concentrating on the tri.

I'm nervous that my leg will cramp up and I won't be able to finish. I'm nervous that my swim will be really bad with tons of people in the pool since I'm mostly used to having the lap area of the pool to myself. I did swim yesterday in all my gear and it didn't seem to drag me back too much. I look like a dork, but I have a feeling I won't be the only one looking layered! I'm nervous that I'm going to bike so slow that I get passed by everyone and NEVER finish -- or that I'll have a nasty blowout & fall! I'm sure these nerves are normal, but I don't like it!

We are heading up to Norfolk tomorrow so that will help. We can go check out the bike & run routes so that at least I'll be able to set some landmarks for myself for the bike & run. We'll be up bright & early Saturday morning. I need to eat by about 6am so that my stomach digests & settles before the race at 8am. I want to get to the Y around 7am so that I can get my packet, set up my transition area, get marked, etc and hopefully RELAX!

I'll post after the tri at sometime to update this blog. WISH ME LUCK!
