At exactly 7:57am, I will start my swim in Uvas Reservior! I cannot wait! Today's training left me on a high note...I swam this morning and I was am pretty surprised and excited about my 100 m splits. It's the first time in a while that I've actually timed my splits...I swam 6x100 at 1:43 pace, then another set of 4x100 with negative splits of 1:36, 36, 35, 34. We shall see how this actually translates to my race where people are swimming over and around me. I'm most afraid that I'll get kicked in the face - I'm definitely used to my own lane at the pool and always get bummed when I have to share :( But I suppose a black eye would be a pretty righteous battle wound.
Then took bike in for a tune up...
I was in a dilemma with my wetsuit situation. After trying out the Xterra one that I bought, I realized that it was too big. I immediately ordered the next size down, but since it's not set to arrive until Monday, I headed over to trusty Sports Basement to rent one for the weekend. Well, I tried on the size that I should have and WOW - now I know what a well fitting wetsuit is supposed to feel like...like a catsuit. I feel like a not so sexy cat woman in that thing! Hopefully it will help me swim like a fishy tomorrow.
I wrapped up the day with an amazing recovery stretch class at FNS, then headed home to get all of my gear in order. Fingers crossed that I have everything! I checked my list twice, so I should be good. Only time will tell!
And this is just the start to a whirlwind 3 weeks. Tomorrow, first tri ever. Then the BF and I travel to DC for the week for our first actual vacay! While there, I'm running the Nike women's 1/2 marathon. Then we come home, I work for 2 days, then I'm off to slo to the infamous Wildflower, my first A race of the year! Whew... I'm tired just typing that, but I can't wait for all that is in store
Now it's time to trust in my training and have a blast! Sweet dreams!! although I'm pretty sure I won't be able to sleep because I don't want to miss my alarm!
