Day 42
ibuprofen: none yet, though that will probably change!
11 days until triathlon
OK, so I have been getting really sort of freaked out about the race and how it's going to be so hard and I am going to be like the last one in. And I've been having visions of having trouble in the water and all of that.
It's time for some positive thinking.
I have to quit focusing on how the whole swimming thing is giving me a hard time. I have to quit imagining the race with dread. It is time to (and thanks for the push on this, Rachelle!) start thinking about how great it's going to feel to finish. It's time to imagine what it's going to be like to finish each step, knowing that I have prepared for it and I have everything I need (in not only a physical, but also emotional and spiritual sense) to do this thing. I have to picture it clearly in my mind, how great it's going to feel to get out of the water (!), how I'll be able to finish the ride, how there will be nice people handing me water on the run. And then....how my team and dear husband and friends will be there at the finish, cheering me on.
So help me focus, folks. Challenge me every time I whine. Keep me on track to do this thing!

We are on the same page there! I'll help you when you whine (though I've NEVER heard you whine) if you help me when I do. I like the idea of envisioning the finish. I really wish I could have been a the weekend simulations and can't WAIT to go to the next one. You are going to be so excited when you are done! I only hope I'm there with you!!
