Last Sunday called for a 12-mile run. And I actually did it! Thanks go out to SB for agreeing to come with me for most of it. Could not have done it without her! I felt generally pretty good, or as good as you can feel in opressive heat and a long distance run. My right shin has started to bother me again but I made it through the run which was all I had hoped for.
Monday evening I accomplished another goal..a long swim. I swam 1800 meters (nearly the race distance) in a new indoor 50-meter pool near my house. I was generally happy with it and am at least confident I can swim the 1.2 miles in NH. It may not be pretty but it will get done.
The bike is causing me the greatest anxiety. Even though I have a gorgeous brand-new bike I have not been getting enough miles in on a weekly basis. I am definitely nervous about that portion of the race. I am planning on swapping the saddle out for my old one this weekend and maybe even putting the aerobars on as well....anything to make the 56 miles just a little more comfortable. In either case, I think I have oficially begun to panic about this race. Gulp! 11 days.
