Tomorrow Is Race Day

Yup, tomorrow is race day.  I will be participating in my 3rd 1/2 Iron(man) at Sylvan Lake.   I did this race last year and if I recall correctly did it in 8 hours 15 minutes.  It was my first 1/2 Iron.

This time round I am hoping to greatly improve on my time in this race. I am not worried about the swim, I could have done more training but I will just be happy to do under 55 minutes, I'd like to do my 90K bike in 3 1/2 hours (why not I did 96K in Chinook in 3:49 and that was a harder route than the one I will be doing tomorrow) and the run I want to do 21K in 2 1/2 hours.  This would get me a finish of 7 hours.

I have a great nutrition plan for tomorrow and I am going to give it my all, however, (yup) there is a however, I have been sick these last couple weeks with a head cold.  Last night (Friday) I was in bed at 8:30 p.m. as I had NO energy.  This morning I feel a bit better but I am going to rest and take some cold medication.  I plan on getting a good nights sleep and visualizing my 7 hour finish tomorrow.

Wish me luck...will let you know how it goes.
