Last weekend I went up to Peterborough for my recovery day to cheer friends who were racing. It was a stinking hot day and I must admit I was a little sad that I wasn't racing for a moment. Everyone pushed so hard and were very glad to see the finish line at the end of the day. The thing I love most about triathlons is there is such a strong community of people who are supportive and proud of each other's accomplishments no matter what. There are so many different types of ages, abilities, and body types in the tri series of races and it amazing to see their test of endurance.
A little more than 2 weeks away....eeekk! I think I've managed to get all my jitters out and after our last big training weekend in Placid I feel ready and prepared for the race. I've done the work and followed the schedule. Things have began to taper this week in preparation for race day. Now I'm making lists of things to bring or of what needs to be done and stocking up on nutritional vices. Last night I went for a deep tissue massage with the famous Cesar who painfully worked out my kinks and knots that have built up from the many hours of training. There were points where I thought as if I would jump off the table and had to take in some deep breathes as he worked through things. He is amazing at what he does and I wouldn't have it any other way as it helps in the recovery of your training, pain is a state of mind.
My bike will go in to see Brian at Enduro after next weekend to get Chip all prepared for Placid. The countdown is on!
