Five days from now I will "race" (possibly just endure?) my first half-Ironman. I am 30% nervous and 70% excited. What if I forget something? What if I run out of calories on the bike or run? What if I get dehydrated? What if I get a flat? Or, worst case, what if my mind decides (probably due to lack of calories!) that I just can't go any farther?I guess the bottom line is I have to trust all the training, and trust that my coach did all she could to prepare me to be successful. We both know I am no Chrissie Wellington, but we also know that I have put in a lot of hours and have what it takes to exercise at a moderate intensity for 6 hours. I know that my body is capable of finishing.
That said, I am looking forward to the adventure, and all the adventures that follow (particularly, those that involve much-deserved sloth and gluttony)!
