Taper Jitters

My first HIM is next Sunday and I am halfway into taper and probably have too much time to think :-)

The thoughts that keep going thru my mind - did I do enough long rides/runs/bricks...am I ready.

I know I need to trust my training but that doesn't mean I can stop my mind from going into overdrive.

Also found out this week I am wave 3 (of 18) right after the Pro Women but 5 minutes before the 24 and under men, being a slow swimmer this makes me real nervous. Hope I don't get run over

I have nothing constructive to add, but for some reason my mind read this as "tapeworm jitters". I wonder what this says about me.

You'll be great!

Thanks - Love that picture!

Pre-rode the bike course on Sat. it was a great ride so feeling good after the ride. Still wondering if my run pace is realistic.

How's the taper thing coming along? Good luck Sunday!

Feeling much better. After the ride on Sat. had a good run on Sunday. Weather looks great for the race (mid-70's) and I feel ready!

Thanks!
