One quick post before I go to sleep on the night before the race. These are the top 25 things I FEAR tomorrow (hey, it's my short list); we'll see how many don't come true!
1. Oversleeping the alarm
2. Being too nervous to eat breakfast
ON THE SWIM
3. Having my goggles fly off when I jump into the river
4. Having my goggles kicked/punched off my face in the water by another athlete and/or being swum into/over by another athlete
5. Leaky goggles
6. Seeing dead fish/a dead body/anything unsavory in the water (c'mon, these are my FEARS)
7. Drinking any of the river
8. GI issues from said drinkage of the river
9. A long bike transition
ON THE BIKE
10. A flat tire (or two!)
11. Not making the bike cutoff times
12. Dehydration on the bike
13. Crashing on the bike
14. Drafting penalties on the bike (4 bike lengths back is a lot and hard for me to gauge)
15. Difficulty climbing hills
16. Somehow missing the Team Sisk cheering section in La Grange
17. A long run transition
ON THE RUN
18. GI issues
19. Leg cramps
20. GI issues
21. Somehow missing the Team Sisk cheering section along the run course
22. GI issues
23. Blisters
24. GI issues
25. Not crossing the finish line by midnight
Now that I've listed my fears, I hope they won't occupy my mind tonight. Time to get some sleep!
