So the important stuff is taken care of right? In Dara Tores' book Age is Just a Number.... she had American flags on her toes for the Olympics. It worked for her, whose to question.
I haven't tried on my new wetsuit since it arrived. Think I ought to do that? Might have to slip it on before I take it out of the box and put into suitcase.
Actually found my bike shoes sitting down stairs by where my trainer has been set up for a month since I've come inside for more rides. They'd be good inside the suitcase also. And the helmet. Small things.
I had my last BIG swim yesterday. I felt good about going- in spite of the headaches and odd back pain/discomfort I've had the last few days. Where last year I can remember feeling like OMG 90 minutes, 4700yards - get serious! It flew.
I laughed as I scoped the pool for the best lane to share and realized I was getting in with Tess, whose also going to AZ and whom I went to college with and has foot issue. It felt good climbing in beside her and having the feel of next Sunday- side by side- though we were much more polite than anyone will be next year. I recall a kick in the head that left me sore for a few days but because my foot was the worse pain I don't think I ever even talked about the head shot.
In true form one lap found us wrapping knuckles with each other- I thought, OK great training grounds- next week will be worse!
Tess did 100 reported by her husband later in the day, and I had to calcuate what my set had been and realized that I had done about the same. 1000 warm up, 3 x 1000 and 500 then 100 and 100 cooldown. I felt good- had more to give and got out. Did a really light lift to help relieve some of the back discomfort which I think is due to weak scaps being pulled open to much- feeling better today and pretty well done with strength other than core, completely until AI = after Ironmom.
Heading out to run to South, ride spinning bike for 1:00 and then Dustman is supposed to pick me up so I can 'train' him.
