Sounds great!!! Sometimes the adrenaline of race day is a wonderful drug. Hopefully you'll get to the run and feel fantastic. Have a great time (and pictures are required as it sounds like a beautiful location).

Hope all is going well! Waiting for the end of the day race report
It's about the journey and being in the moment, not about the destination

How did it go? I'm hoping GREAT. You are my new inspiration -- I'm also nursing a calf pull and it's not going great. I hope you had a great day and a pain free run!

Great Tri
It was a great triathlon, an open water lake swim, with wind and cold, but clearly visible buoys. The transition water bike was up about 300 stairs, that hurt my calf, so I started the bike with calf pain, but rode hard, it was a hilly course, so I was constantly changing gears and it was hard to get into a groove, but it was soooo beautiful and no cars, then at the bike run transition, I decided that my calf ALREADY was bothering me in the bike, so I might as well run, and well, it didn't go so bad. I ran slow and had started in the last wave, so all alone on a one way 10k road, with no traffic, beautiful scenery, just felt like I was out for a slightly fast walk. The last bit was all up hill so the final 2k, well I did wonder if it wasn't ok to run. But I just kept at it. I got a trophy and a gift certificate for winning my category (all two of us). It was a hard tri, but fun fun fun. Today my calf hurts, BUT NOT MORE THAN before, which is no lesson in anything. Still not sure what to do. Thanks for your support!
