Excited isn't the first word that comes to mind, more like nervous excited, why and please don't get a flat tire and embarrass yourself because it would take me all afternoon to change it. Other than that I feel I'm ready. I live in Boise, Idaho and its triple digits and everything is on fire. I have been doing my du distance every Saturday morning 3,12,3 in 80 to 90 degree weather for the last 4 weeks. I do brick workouts all the time with alot of cross training in other areas besides run and bike. Physically I'm ready, now i just have to not let adrenaline and nerves get me. The race is in Portland at 8:00 in morning so it should be a lot cooler than the weather I'm training in. I just hope its not real windy.. I'll let you know how I do when its over with. Thanks for your advice and support.
