I have no idea whether I am or not, but it is what it is. Now is the time to remember the reasons I do this stuff and while Aug 18th may be the motivator, it's not the reason.
At the very least however I'm determined to look good. My wife questioned the need for a new helmet just for this race and although I explained that to wear the same one as last year would be like going to the Xmas dance with last years dress, she still didn't get it. Too bad! In the end I didn't get the helmet I had in mind but I did find one I'm happy with. What do you think?
Today was my last half serious workout and it went reasonably well. It felt very strange to ride 30 kms, but it felt really nice to have a strong 6 km followup run. From here on in I''ll probably just play it by ear, although the experts all say that you should still stay very active. Of course there are 500 different "expert" opinions about just what that activity should look like. I'll make my own decisions. My priority will be on soaking my feet as I've neglected them a bit recently.
Tomorrow will be a total day off other than some serious packing activity. We head out on Tuesday morning and will take 2 days to get there. With 8 days to go I will start posting every day.
Here's the link to the Race site. At some point you will be able to find a link here to follow the race live. I'll keep track as well and let you know when it's available. Meanwhile any one who cares can check out the course particulars and all the rules and procedures. I recommend the athletes guide.
Til tomorrow.
Love
