Thanks, Wahine. That's been my thought too. I don't want to just finish. I want to finish strongly and know that I will be really really prepared. I've done tris where I trained just barely enough to do the distance and I really suffered in them. When I've been well trained, they've been a joy, and my results show the difference.

I think the most important thing for me will be to listen to my body and make sure I'm not becoming over-tired. The thing I have to work on most is making sure I get enough sleep. It's hard for me to get to bed early enough for all the early morning training I do. I function best on 7-8 hours sleep a night, and I don't always get that.
