17 days

Home!

Coach and I went to Blue Lake this morning. I'm doing my first triathlons there this weekend.
Saturday: Sprint Distance: 8am 1/2 mi swim, 12 mi bike, 5 k run
Sunday: Olympic Distance:  8am .8 mi swim, 22 mi bike, 5.3 mi run

Swam in the water: it's not that cold. Practiced getting pummeled whilst swimming: funny.
Swimming will be a total head game, if I stay calm I have no doubt I can do it.  Get amped up and I'm screwed. So there's that.

I'm so lucky to have such a rad coach.
Then we got beers and lunch and it was good to hear about how most folks get a little high strung before big events and what the plan is for the next couple weeks.
The truth is I'm terrified and an emotional loose cannon.  I'm excited too, but it's scary as shit.
At this point alls I can do is my best every day. 


In other RAD news:
-I'm getting bees and I planted my garden, come on summer!
-Saw a big snake on a bike ride
-I saw what may be the cutest animal: Baby Highland Cattle on the run the other day.
-Grande Finale: Same run... shit my pants! Really! It's true!
