Subject: Mindset for Race Day Hi Fellow beginner triathletes!
I've been prepping for my first Sprint (first race of any kind, actually ) since last July. Now, I'm less than 2 weeks away till race day. I know a huge part of preparing is mental. I would LOVE any tips or mantras that any of you do. I'm starting to get really nervous. I also feel like I'm getting to be as ready as I'll ever be. I've gone to open water clinics, pool clinics, triathlon clinic, taken a swim lesson and swim, bike, and run at least twice a week, but usually do at least one thing daily. I've also swam my first half mile the other day. I've gone on a 50 mile bike ride once, but when I did the 12 miles on the course I'll be doing, it was hillier and windier than expected, then going for a run (jog ) after that was really hard. I know this won't be "easy", but I just want to get my head in the right place for race day.
I deal with Fibromyalgia and constant pain so this is definitely a challenging feat for me. My goal is to finish in under 3 hours which I think will be hard but manageable.
Anyway, I'd love for anyone to give me any advice or tips that they can to ease my nerves.
Thank You!
