Heading into my final week!

I can't believe that my final week of training is finally on me!  I'm soooo excited :) 

We've arrived at Dayton Manor Theme Park yesterday, and are now just an hour away from the race venue, I think the fact that I can just relax now,  spend time with the family and have fun helps, I feel incredibly calm about the whole challenge ahead of me lol that may change nearer the time :)

Thoughts on the Training

I'm really happy with how's the training gone;  swimming has been difficult but swimming the distance and feeling comfortable with it has dispelled the fears of the distance but that said,  I will be happy when I'm out of the water.   I'm looking forward to the bike,  lol hope weather forecast is right, it's forecast for 60-70 partly cloudy and no wind!  Again,  the run has a few concerns but doing 17 miles and feeling very strong at the end has helped but this is such unknown I have no idea how I will feel as the run progresses. 

My race plan is a case of using a mixture of perceived and heart rate measures especially on the bike;  even if it results in my bike split being slower than I hope for :)

My nutrition plan is all set, I'm planning on setting my watch for every 15 mins to remind me;  especially on the bike and there are so many feed stations on the run that frequency is not a problem.

Now it's final week taper time; and really time to chill and enjoy;  lol Stuart was right heading away this early is perfect :)
