1600 this morning at barton springs...it is light now when i am there at 6.30...and nice to be able to see where you are going...had a little trouble sighting once the sun came up...the reflection off the water made it almost impossible to see...a nice easy swim...
went over my race goals/race plan with my coach...she seemed to think that it was ok...gave me some advice to figure out how to get from swim in to my bike...from there to bike out...from bike in to bike rack and from there to run out...i was also thinking while i am doing that i can pick out a spot to sight to on the way out and something else on the way back...
why am i so nervous...i guess it is just nerves about the unknown of it all...like i have never been to the place where it is...the normal route to get there is going to be closed so i have to take other roads...j helped me figure out what it is that i am actually nervous about in the race that i have control over...and it's not much...i just need to do this...now i feel like it can't get here fast enough...
after our chat about race plan...we worked on transition...i have a little order when i come out of the swim...helmet, glasses, race belt socks...then i am ready for the bike...in from the bike...it is left shoe right shoe...helmet off...grab hat and run...not much to it...but i did get to practice the mount and dismount a few times...with other people watching me and cars in the road...so that was good...
the actual work outs that i have been doing this week have been light...the swimming is about the only thing that i have been doing at the same volume...guess i am tapering for my race...and without realizing it carb loading too...when i am training a lot i eat a lot...and i guess that when i am tapering and not training a lot...i eat a lot too...hmm...that can't be good...i hope next week my volume is better...
