This last push of training has been hard...but at the same time I kind of don't want it to end. I know there is no reason why I should be nervous about my race preparation...I have put in almost double my bike mileage...and after a 10 min PR half marathon (training run!!) last weekend....there shouldn't be these negative thoughts in my brain. Not to mention I swam 5 times last week ( I don't remember the last time I swam with Channel cats 5 days in a row!! Helps reading what the Pros are doing on Twitter....my competitiveness was coming out a little....if Julie swam 4k today I better do 4200...haha).
didn't realize roo2 could fit in my car...awesome finley here i come!
Off for one of our last long rides
It's just hard- my last race was Kona- and talking with Jm last night made me realize that it would have helped to have a tune up race leading up to another full Iron. I am so excited to be able to race the distance again. It is just such a challenge.
First dip in the river this year 43degrees. woof.
I just am fighting myself everyday. I know the training is there. There is just that little fuzzy area in my confidence saying what if. This course is going to be hard. There is a lot of climbing on the bike--2 loops of these hills that one they call "the wall"...and the run is an 8ish mile loop three times.
Confidence is key. I think I just need to keep reminding myself of my goals. I race for MYSELF. I want to finish. These are goals that I don't have prove to anyone.
Last big push.
love our post training recovery fred meyer lunch
Love, Erin
