As of this posting, I have 5 Days, 16 Hours, and 50 Minutes until the gun at Lavaman (I'm allowing a little bit of time for me to type...) I am soo super excited about this. Its gonna be a blast!
We had our last Saturday practice this last Saturday (group picture at the bottom of the entry). I'm not sure if I'm happy that I no longer have to wake up at 7:00am (or earlier) to brave the seas, or if I'm sad that I'm saying goodbye to a lot of new friends (most of them are on Facebook anyway, so staying connected is really just simply pressing the 'poke' button - which could be awkward, depending on the person...). Most likely it's the latter, however I'm almost positive that I'm not going to miss the early Saturday practices. The practice consisted of a 45 minute swim in the ocean (yes - it is still freezing, although I'm becoming acclimated, albeit slowly...) followed by a short and easy 30 minute jog along the Venice boardwalk. (I love Venice, btw... such a conglomerate of cultures and identities - the quintessential California bum beach. It really is great.)
I did a spin class at my gym on Sunday, which was great. I love those spin classes. So intense and everyone is movin and groovin to the beat. Its great.
Today (Monday) is my day off from workouts. Its gonna be an easy week:
-Swim Tuesday
-Bike Ride and Run on Wednesday
-Swim Thursday
-Fly Friday
-Relax Saturday
-Race Sunday
-Partake of copious amounts of booze post-race Sunday
-Fly home hungover, sleepy, and 100% satisfied Monday
I'ma try to post a lot this week to see if I can capture my preparations. We shall see. I have a laundry list of things to do (which, not surprisingly, includes laundry) before I leave. Maybe tonight I'll get motivation enough to actually do some of the things I need to. Or maybe I'll watch TV.
