Subject: RE: Ironman Coeur d'Alene : Official ThreadGet well everyone! It's good timing to get sick now, I guess, rather than next week. We don't want to hear about any Chrissie Wellington-like situations on race day! Taper has been driving me sufficiently crazy. So far I've: 1. Had the urge to do a 20 mile run, "just to see how it feels" 2. Reviewed all my race gear and started second-guessing all of it, from the bike wheels, to the tri top, to my running shoes 3. Started second-guessing my nutrition plan, even though I never had a problem with it in training ("am I really going to want to eat nothing but Powerbars and gels the whole day?!") 4. Completely disassembled my bike to clean it, thus needing to bring it back in to the LBS because it started shifting funny afterwards Oy. |
