Last Hoorah...

Today I went for my last hard workout before the big race. Technically you are supposed to take the entire week off to prep for the race, but one of my big training days from last week was rained out (it rained from 7am through the ENTIRE day) so I felt it was ok to squeeze in one more big workout.

Took the bike out and got in a solid, faster ride this time which got me huffing and puffing. I even managed to scare a little turtle, who did a little "What the?!" and ducked into his shell quickly as I sped by. Came home, dropped the bike off, changed from bike helmet to Red Sox cap, grabbed the ipod and I was off for a solid run. I felt good and then when I finished I felt good and tired. I think I had fully convinced myself that it was going to be OK, that I just needed to take it easy and finish, when I sat down and checked my email...

...the note from Kate told me that the weather for Saturday was "High Winds and Thunderstorms." Oy vey. I'm not even sure how to handle that. I can't imagine. I wonder what it takes to cancel an event. That would be such a bummer. We have a webinar tomorrow night to get the lowdown on all things race-like so I should know more then. Of course, I'll fill ya in.

Looking forward to checking out a local gym and getting a few days of easy swims in. Getting my final bike tune up too. And that's all, folks. The race is RIGHT THERE. Man...

Anyway, last thing to mention now is that I found the News Journal article online, the one about Kate & I and our race. It has fancy pictures and everything. I included the link in separate blog and also tacked it on to the list of links on the right hand side of my blog. Check it out!

Alright, I'm pooped. That's that for now.

Cheers!
