today supposed to be a 5 mile run…. as I have stated I did that earlier in the week so that I could do Just the 3.1 in the tri this morning.

What are your funny things you have to do before a race? mine are silly. I get up early 0500 race starts at 1000 But I know I have to be there to see my kids swim at 0830. I take a shower it is the first thing I do. I am the kinda girl that HATES to shave my legs. and I mean that with all my being. Those legs could wait a year or two and it wouldnt bother me. But my pits. well those and other things MUST be done. But on race day, I get up ubeer early so that I can sit in the shower and shave those legs. you see the hair on said legs could slow me down in the water. : ) I know that is not all true. But it is something that i have done since my frist race in high school. than we let it grow untill regions. and ALL OF US got personal best times. : ) that and we took first place. : )

so Today I got up took my shower layed ont he bottom with the hot water beating on me visualizing. something my coach taught me in high school. and you know when you visualize the perfect race… it doesnt always happen. and that is okay with me. So I visualize bad stuff, and how I overcame it. and I have noticed when I am out ther racing that HELPS. I already have it figured out IF something happens. and that is a great thing to have. : )

There is a group of our swimmers taht are going to be doing the kids tri today. and I am looking forward to it. our 8 year old star will be there. and my best friends little (10) and Mrs. M’s Kids (7) and (10) I think… will be there and little Miss K’ will be there… and so many more. I am looking forward to it. It is so neat to see them out there tri’ing something new… and what a cool sport to get into . : )

So there will be another update after the race. not sure about results and how that will go. But when I get them. you will have them. PROMISE!

I am off to pick up one of the teenagers to help dad with the kids. get some batteries and get back home to pack up. see you on the FLIP SIDE!
