This is just a quick post to let you know 5 more sleeps till Trek. Race anxiety is setting in. On lunch today, I printed out my time last year, it broke down as Swim= 27:11, T1= 4:50, Bike= 1:08:11, T2= 3:12 and Run 49:29 for a grand total time of 2:32:55.
Last year, I survived the Tri, I started my journey, it was the start of the foundation of my new life. This year, my goal is to THRIVE during the Tri, I enjoy it, to get a PB (personal best). I'm confident I'll beat my time of last year, I would like to be under 2:15 with a stretch goal of under 2 hours. I started breaking down my times, how fast I would have to swim, bike, run and trans times and I'm starting to freak out a little.
I have to remember to step back and remind myself what I'm doing and why. I love the friendships developed, I love the person I'm becoming, I love the way doing things like this makes my body feel. When I'm in love with this, I do better, I need to focus on being the best Mariah I can be, the rest will come naturally.
I had a great weekend and I got together with a friend for a great talk, which I'll blog more about later. Just wanted to touch base. Hope you all had a wonderful and safe July 4th!
Unstoppable "day counting" Mariah
Good luck on your race! You will do amazing. Sounds a bit exhausting!
ReplyDeleteCrossing my fingers for a fantastic race and conditions! You'll be Unstoppable "Amazing" Mariah!
ReplyDeleteLast year during your first Trek Triathlon, Sally Edwards (female Triathlon Queen) gave Mariah (& all the women in her wave) the word "UnSTOPpable". Sally also personally put the medal around Mariah's neck at the finish line. I am so excited for this year's trip! I wonder what Mariah's word will be this year?
