i'm actually looking forward to this...1./2 ironman, great white north///bring it on!

so this is, 2 sleeps away from my 4th 1/2 ironman...cool huh? don't know why i'm still a little freaked, i shouldn't be...i've been there done that...this is the most i've actually ever trained for a race....all my swims and rides have been over the distances, so this should be fine..and i guess i am...my biggest concern, is WHY AM I SO TIRED!?....so my concern is getting rested, and just waking up in time for the race on sunday....i've done that before...slept passed the start time of a race just because it felt like the right thing to do at the time....and i've regretted making the decision almost every time....there's a couple of times when it was the right thing to do at the time, and that's okay, but this seems different.
but one different thing, is that i am actually looking forward to the race. that doesn't happen all that often. i'm not really concerned about my race times, i know what i'm capable of doing, and my goal is to sort of to meet them..but really, i just want to finish standing up and having fun...watching friends race, having a nice swim, a good ride, and hopefully a good run...better yet, a run... ...i've done this race 3 times now, and have yet to have a good run...it's just 2 10K runs, there's tons of support, there's a bunch of aid stations, it should be fine...and it should be fine..i just need to run...and just whatever happens happens, it is what it is.....and then it's onward and upward to ironman....
