Anyone else getting nervous with me? 

My first HIM, and on my run this morning I started getting pains in different parts of my legs, back, feet, and thought "uh oh."  Then I remembered that my taper is starting, and my mind had begun to play tricks on me.

Not so nervous... Excited for sure! It'll be my 5th HIM distance for me. 

I was getting plain depressed though this week when I thought I had lost my bike legs doing 2 of my taper repeat workouts and I couldn't put out more than my threshold watts for 90sec at an ALL OUT effort. I troubleshot my powertap and zero'd and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. Then I realized it was time to change the batteries in the hub and I felt relieved:-)

I was curious about the course and didn't see an accurate mapmyride map so I created one. For those that are curious about elevation gain, etc... here it is:

I'm a little nervous.  I did my first HIM 5 weeks before this race.  I'll be good on the swim and bike.  That run is going to be pure suffering.  I'm hoping to PR at a sub 5:57.
