Day 46
ibuprofen: 600mg so far, plus an ice pack
7 days until triathlon
Most all of the team were out this morning, bright and early, for our second simulation day. I was very happy not to have another asthma attack in the water, and even happier not to get too tangled up in the icky grass. A couple of the avoidance techniques I have been thinking of using worked pretty well, so chalk one up for planning in advance....
The bike ride was very hilly (ouch), and I walked about 2 1/2 miles, just 1/2 mile shy of the race distance. I feel pretty good about my performance today...the transitions went all right (note to self: check toes for lingering sand before putting on socks!), I remembered all the stuff, and actually felt sort of cheery at the end.
So this week is the time to kick back a little, give my body a chance to recover and be in prime shape for Saturday. It's amazing to imagine that by this time next week, I will have done something most people never do, and something I never imagined was possible for me. I'll still be "just me," but "just me" with a load of victories, large and small, to carry with me into the future.

Yay! That is so cool. I wish I could be there next weekend. Unfortunately (even thought it's going to be fun, too), I have another commitment. Make sure husband takes lots of pictures and gives you a good rub-down afterwards. ;-p
