I have my first triathlon this weekend and I am nervous as hell. I think I am better prepared for this than I have been for any of my previous races, but still, I’m scared.

I am trying to honor the pseudo taper I told myself I would do, but to calm my nerves, I did a brick workout on Sunday that was as long as the entire bike and run segment of the race. And I swam a little over a mile in the pool this week.

Other than that, I’ve been pretty good though keeping my runs to five miles or less.

Once the race is down, I’ll post the result here….wish me luck.
