Comments on: Preparations http://tryingforatri.com/2009/07/04/preparations/ Chronicles of an aspiring triathlete Tue, 01 Sep 2009 02:20:10 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: spiffykermscom http://tryingforatri.com/2009/07/04/preparations/#comment-1622 spiffykermscom Mon, 06 Jul 2009 15:39:01 +0000 http://tryingforatri.wordpress.com/2009/07/04/preparations/#comment-1622 Before reading your newest (completed) entry about the tri - I wanted to read this one. It wasn't boring at ALL! I've been going along with my boyfriend to triathlons for 3 years now, and you seemed quite prepared for the race! I love your roadbike by the way (however, I don't really know much about bikes anyway! but it looks great with the pack on the back for emergencies!) Also smart thinking - about the colorful towel in the transition area. A lot of people don't consider that to be useful but it certainly is when people race past their setup and forget where the bike is parked!

I am nervous for you my dear (but in a good way - think of how amazing you will feel when you finish tomorrow!) I think you sound totally ready and prepared - making the list of the things you were worried about sounds really smart and helpful! And the bowl of oats early in the morning is a smart decision. Also, a bar with more carbs is definately what your body will benefit most from. You will have a fabulous time! Just be confident in yourself, and try to enjoy it :-) This is such a fabulous achievement. Although it may sound weird coming from a stranger you have never met - but I'm already proud of you girl.
