Race Week Weirdness

In my preparation for the Summer Open Triathlon this weekend, I basically get to do nothing all week...well, not really nothing but it kind of feels like it. I rode the trainer to Desperate Housewives yesterday...55 minutes, ran for 50 minutes this morning with a friend, and swam for 1000 yards just now. All workouts I have felt heavy, tired, and broken. I am constantly amazed (although I don't know why, because I seem to keep relearning the same truth) how one week I can feel so strong and unstoppable, and the next completely toast. I guess it's the way we maintain humility and balance.

So, I am hoping I don't look and feel like a manatee on Sunday. Hoping my body is healed by then, my training kicks in and my mind is kind. If not Sunday, then June 27th. I'm not gonna be greedy.
