Thanks for all the updates! HANG IN THERE!
I know what you mean... if you think TOO MUCH about it... it makes you all nervous and worried. If you think, "it's just another day", it's calming.
The night before any race, I lay down in bed and I make myself NOT think about the race. I hope I can do that the night before my IM so I can get some rest.
So we will be tracking you on race day. Stick to the plan. Keep moving forward. Have a positive attitude and don't let little things derail your mind set. Don't eat the paste and remind yourself why you are out there when your mind wants to tell you to stop.
