    anxious and excited

    To disable ads, please log-in.

    Today was check in day for Sunday's Iron Girl triathlon. So now it's real. I got my numbers (still have to figure out how to attach the number to the belt, since the holes are too small and I don't have a hole punch) and the swag bag (wicking t-shirt, water bottle, key ring, baby luna bar, aquaphor sample, sunscreen sample, two Her Sports magazines, etc.). Tomorrow is bike racking day.

    I keep fighting the urge to take one more bike ride or one more run. But since I haven't had a day off the bike in 2 weeks, I think it's time to give my legs a rest.

    Anyway, just wanted to share my anxiety with someone. Now I'm going to read about how not to let the anxiety get to you on race day in the May/June issue of Her Sports.

    Good luck to LynneK & Brina on Sunday!

    I can just about guarantee that I'm not going to want to memorialize my extremely slow time, but it's a nice idea...I like the "beginner triathlete" bracelet.
