More on the Affirmations Front

Day 49
ibuprofen: 600mg, will probably have some more before bed
3 days until triathlon (I think that's also counting today) Holy crap. This thing is happening on Saturday. It's Wednesday. Aaaaaargh!

Yikes. I keep getting that fear/thrill/nausea thing happening. I am trying to counter it with the visualization and affirmations. Here they are:

I am strong, relaxed and safe in the water.
I am swift and graceful on my bike.
I have strength and endurance on foot.

I keep saying them to myself, over and over, whenever that nausea thing comes up.

Some truly awful things happened today, but I don't feel free to write about them on the blog as they did not actually happen to me. Sorry about that for those of you who are not already aware, but now the excitement of the race is also mixed with sadness.

Hug the folks you love tonight, people. Now. Do it now. Treasure them.
