Countdown…
After the week in Lanzarote I have had a manic week at work culminating in the Vo2 Cyclo sportive on Sunday. It was a great day and the event will definitely become a regular in the cyclosportive calender.I am starting to taper and it hardly seems like 5 minutes ago that I came back to training! I am getting excited about travelling to Kona, I am definitely in uncharted territory though. I have never done 2 x IM distance events in one year before plus a 1/2 IM and several very long brick sessions! I became aware today again of how exciting triathlon is - I have been competing at triathlon since 2000 and triathlon is still taking me to new places geographically, physically, mentally and emotionally. I said before IM Lanzarote that it was the biggest race of my life - I am now nearing the biggest race of my life. It will be so cool to be in the same race as most of my triathlon heroes and I will be proud to finish it. I think that it is normal to worry about whether you have done enough training at this stage and you just have to trust that you have and that whatever happens you will enjoy race day.So…a couple of runs, a couple of bikes and a couple of swims left before I go on Saturday….hope to be able to post some cool pics and the news on facebook and twitter when I get there.Thank you to everyone who has wished me well and given me such amazing support since May, I have appreciated it all.
