What's good folks? Me, i'm here nervous thinking of what's going on this weekend - My first Half Ironman distance race. Frankly, I don't think i'm ready but the show will go on whether I am or not. So i'm sitting around creating scenarios in my mind where some end with great joy others with ambulances .... I'm obviously rooting for the joy, if only it was that simple. Seriously my goal is just to finish. People say I should firmer goals that relate to time, but this is the way I have approached all of my other tris; Complete the distance, next time set a time goal. I hope to work on being mentally stronger this weekend. Next to cramps, my brain is usually my next biggest hurdle. I hope Sunday i'm writing a glorious post of how I was able to overcome and keep my mind on the task at hand for however long it takes. Stay tuned.
On the training front, I pulled things back last week hoping to be prepared for what this weekend has for me. Man, i'm nervous. I hope I have some interesting pics to put up too. In honor of the redneck riviera, that is Panama City, i'm thinking of wearing my party like a rock star hat while crossing the finish line, mullet and all. Odds are i'll be struggling so bad at the point that I won't remember, but I hope I do. Thanks for the well wishes.

Hope this Half Ironman race goes well for you! I know you had a rough swim last time out, but if you try to picture yourself succeeding in your mind in each aspect of the race the night before, I think this will help you have a positive mindset going into the race because you have already mentally succeeded. Hope this helps and good luck!
