I love the quiet before the storm ! I can't contain my energy...but I become very calm and take it all in! It is here on the start line before the race even begins that I feel truly blessed to be a competitive athlete!

9.15 MOUNTAIN BIKE
Biked first half hour by myself as I was running behind due to getting a few extra yards in the pool. Did not mind as I wanted to get my legs moving at my own speed. It was a balmy 32 degrees and I definitely over dressed. Ran into a group and went straight to Tiger Woods...a narly but fun rooty section of the woods. Did some good solid riding for 2 hours. The ground was hard and slick in sections. Saw two people wipe out taking corners too fast..I tried to keep it under control...safety first!
11.30 RUN
Headed out into the woods with a small group. Felt really good. Pushed the hills a bit and enjoyed the fresh air. Made sure I did not take my eyes off of the trails as those roots like to come out and grab you when you not paying attention. Ran 1 hour.
12.30 READY FOR FOOD
Stopped at store for fluid, a bar and a protein shake
