PRACTICE...PRACTICE...PRACTICE and I will be able to reach my goal (2 weeks exactly until race day). Today was a successful trial run at Liberty Lake. The lake water was still a little chilly (warmer than Coeur d'Alene & my body didn't go numb)w/ the wetsuit, but it was definitely a better experience overall. Aaron and I met Shannon (fellow spin teacher & friend from the gym...she is signed up for the Wonder Woman Sprint Tri in August this yr & Ironman 2009-GO GIRL) near the lake at 7:30a.m. to swim and ride the course. They were both troopers and helped cheer me on throughout the morning.
Shannon reminded me during the bike ride that it is all "Mind Over Matter" to get through this race!!! I felt much more confident about the run and I beat my "brick wall" that I have been facing. There were a couple times that I had to walk to catch my breath, but my confidence level was much higher as I was pushing through the challenging sections.
This week will be a short week (2 days) b/c we leave on Wednesday for the Leyendecker family reunion in San Antonio, TX (July 2nd-7th). It will be a nice chance to relax and take it easy a bit. Our hotel has a gym & pool so I will still be working out during our vacation, but on a lower intensity level.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!!!!
