RSR 36 – The day before the Escape

By Skip

Episode number 36 of my daily triathlon training diary….

This is it. It all comes down to tomorrow. The months and months of physical training I have done in combination with the mental hurdles of this particular race all boil down to tomorrow morning. I went to pick up my race packet this morning and it was a muddy mess. I can’t imagine what it will be like tomorrow if the rain does not stop. Good news on that front, however, and it looks like the worst of the weather might come on Monday and NOT tomorrow. Keep your fingers crossed!

About

So if you have read any of the blog thus far you know a little bit about me… I can not be told what to do and I push myself about as far as I can be pushed!

But how did I get here and why? Well, that is what this page is about.

I was never really the athletic type. Sure, I played tennis in high school (and quite well, mind you) but running CERTAINLY was never my thing!

The start of 2009 was big for me as I came to the realization that I had put on too much weight over the past 10 years (read more...)
