Jesse Thomas. THE Jesse Thomas who is married to the one and only Lauren Fleshman.

I'm feelin' some salsa via Victor Cruz (since he hasn't gotten to do it nearly enough this year)

Originally posted by switch You're having a pretty good streak right now. Not that luck has anything to do with performance, but maybe you should play lotto or something

Ohmergosh. About 4 1/2 days to race time!!! What to wear?! What to eat?! Arghhhhhhhh!

 

So as I mentioned earlier I started reading The Four Pillars of Triathlon which discusses the mental aspects of training and racing. So the authors were discussing imagination and tell the reader to recall a time when the reader was performing strongly (not necessarily athletically). Then they ask about the mind's eye pictures. Are they moving or still? Black and white or color? Large or small?

Now here is where they lost me... Where in your field of vision - above or below the horizon, or left or right of center? Does the picture have a border around it?

I can't answer those questions. I guess my mind's eye pictures are more vague than other people? {shrug}

Originally posted by rrrunner Still having to respond on my phone, grrrrrr I feel better about clothing choices now that I know RnR lets you discard layers. Food... my insecurity lies in the timing. I usually get up, have some chews and head out on my LR. Well now there will be about 3 hours between getting up and the race. Don't think I want to eat anything "solid" but don't want to under nourish either. As for the imagery, I should show the book to my psychology major DS2. It's hard for me to determine "where" the image appears. It's in my head?!

ETA: I don't know why this spacing ended up weird, but at least it's Calvin and Hobbes.
