Breathe, baby, Breathe
Jun. 17th, 2005 03:24 pmOkay, sat down, typed up my checklist of stuff to take to Charlottesville for Sunday's Race. Printed out directions to the Hotel, the Running Store (aka packet pick-up), the restaurant, and the race site. Went through what I'll need in the transition area versus after the race, versus at the hotel, etc. I have a sneaking suspicion that we might not be able to get back to the hotel before noon check-out for me to shower before we head back to DC, but we'll see.
Did a very brief swim last night to confirm that the wrist will be okay for the swim, and it was fine. Also tried wearing the club tank top that I picked up last weekend and while, like all racing top shirts, it leaves nothing underneath to the imagination, it felt fine to swim in, so there's another minute or so off the transition time while not having to struggle into a tight piece of clothing. ;-p Also held the heart rate monitor in place nicely, which is the other big reason to wear the tank through all three sports. And never again will I get a racing shirt that does not involve a zipper.
Psyched, nervous, all that jazz.
We're headed to Studio Theater tonight for some play/musical or another. Hopefully that'll take some of the edge off, at least this evening.
