Just Going Through the Motions!!

Training is going well. Six months ago....I just wanted to say that my IM training was consistent, but I can honestly say that my training has been better than I could have ever imagined. The last week or so, I do feel like I'm just doing the workouts without as much excitement. There have been some very good moments, but they have more to do with

I heard you mention IM France!

You are doing such a great job; you were amazing out there yesterday. We're doing it, we really are!

last week or so, I do feel like I'm just doing the workouts without as much excitement.
I noticed it of myself that as I got close -- and you're, what? 17 days out now -- that my mind switched gears to "injury avoidance" and "maintenance" rather than new training thresholds. The work is banked, you're physically, technically (and probably tactically and mentally) ready. The workouts might not officially be taper yet, but have more high-five, back-slapping, hand-shaking going on rather than solo, blue-collar, dig deep working too hard going on! Oh, do enjoy the final couple of weeks, the lead-in to the race, the reflection of the past 6 months, the trip, the 1st!!

Ayez une bonne course.

Ironmom - I'll never be able to recreate this first time either! Sort of like the first....well never mind...you know, that first kiss.

I've got a feeling this little team of ours will be up to no good together again soon...I hope so anyway.

Thanks!

It's helps to know that what I'm feeling is "normal" and your words are wise. It's great to think that the hard work is DONE! A great feeling indeed!
