I've just finished getting my race gear together for tomorrow's Subaru sprint triathlon down on Jericho beach. I'm not going to lie. I'm really, really, worried about it. I'm not worried I won't finish or anything like that.. but just worried about my performance in general. I think I've been slacking and it's going to show in my time.
I've biked twice since the ironman. (Ok.. four times.. but two of them really don't count because they were on the trainer and I didn't push it at all).
I've swam 3 times since the half ironman. Yes, you read that right.. just three times in well over a month.
The only thing I have going for me is the run portion. (I've been putting in my fair share of running since my marathon training started).
I did 'taper' this week. Only short and fast distances (skipped my longer marathon speed runs) though I'm not sure what I'm tapering from, haha. I stopped my stregth training too just for this week as I'm still getting sore after due to the newness of it all.
I've got a lot of pressure from my husband to perform and I think it's getting to me.
I also drank last night and am a tad hung over today. Will that affect me tomorrow? Probably.
I gotta get my positive thinking back. I'm heading down for the open water swim lesson at 3pm and to check my bike in. Maybe seeing my friends and getting in the sprint triathlon spirit of 'fun' will help.
