Subject: One Week Before My First 70.3
So I have one week til my first 70.3. I'm totally freaking out even though I've been training hard since January 4th.
What would you say is the most important thing for me to remember? (besides the obvious, obviously)

While I still have three weeks before my 70.3 I think the most important thing you should remember is that you've done the work to get here so now just execute your plan and have fun.  Oh, with your Paul Newman pics I would suggest not eating 50 eggs before the race.

What he said! You worked too hard over the last 5 months not to enjoy yourself!

I would echo the sentiments from prior posts and say have fun, too. As a corollary to that, I would also tell you that the "chips are in the bank". Make sure this taper week is a taper week. You're not going to get any more fitness (i.e. make any more deposits) this week by going harder or longer than needed.

And just in case you forgot, HAVE FUN!!!

Trust in your training and have fun/enjoy the moment.

Hydrate on the bike= No cramps on the run... (Hopefully). I only have one of these under my belt, but that would have helped me out. I thought I was getting enough fluid in, but still cramped a bit on the second half of the run.

Otherwise, I agree. The money is in the bank. Now, just go out and enjoy it. This is what you have been working for.

You can't gain any fitness in this last week.   But you might screw up the fitness you have if you go out and do something stupid

Enjoy the experience. Take a few moments to appreciate everything that had to happen to allow you to get to that starting line, all your work, all the training.  To me, a race is a celebration of my ability to race.
