I know what I wrote about trusting your training, but that still doesn't mean that that darn self-doubt doesn't start creeping in. Sunday is the start of our tri season with the Lake Kinetic sprint in Lake Anna, VA. I'm nervous - and it's only a sprint distance race! I can't imagine what I’m going to be like at our half-iron. But I wonder if I put enough time into training, did I do quality training, should I have done more bricks, will I have improved from last year, does my race outfit make me look fat…
If one good thing has come out of it is an affirmation of my passion for this sport. The last two weeks I've been in a bit of a slump, questioning why I do this and if I'll race next year. While I still haven't answered that question, the butterflies in my stomach and the pounding in my heart when I think about race day tell me I'm still in it for the right reasons - whatever they may be.
Wish us luck! And we're off and running (and biking, and swimming!).....
