We’re finally at RACE WEEK! The NYC Triathlon is this Sunday and I’m prepping by:
- Going easy on my workouts
- Eating nutritional meals and snacks
- Getting a sports massage (woohoo)
- Packing up my gear and buying last minute items I may be missing
- Continually checking the weather (not looking so good!)
- Remind myself to chill out (during race week I always experience random aches and pains which I’m pretty sure are all in my head)
This morning was my last swim before the race. I did a light 20 minute swim and it felt ok. The swim in the Hudson is probably my least favorite part of the race but as long as I stay calm I should get through it.
Tuesday I was all set to sleep in but couldn’t resist meeting up with four friends for a few laps around Central Park. It’s always good to get some time on your bike the week before a race. Hours on the stationary bike don’t always cut it.
Look at this deliciousness. After my spin/swim this morning I had three egg whites and my mid morning snack is this mix of Emerald Vanilla Roast Almonds, Nature Box Sweet Blueberry Almonds and Raw Organic Coconut.
I try not to get too wrapped up in the forecast because whatever happens will happen and I have zero control over it. Some years it’s raining, some years it’s 100 degrees, you get what you get! For this year, it’s not looking great but we’ll have to wait and see.
In other important and unrelated news, a Laguna Beach marathon is currently playing on MTV and it’s giving me life today.
