In just a few short weeks I have changed how my body operates, sitting here typing my heart-rate is ranging between 55-60 bpm, but if I kick back and watch a little TV, rate drops to a low of 43. I don't think I have ever seen a heart-rate not in 3rd degree block that low, and certainly not my own, although I suspect that BJ's bpm count lives in that general vicinity. :)
The race is two days away, am I ready? I would like to think so, in reality, who knows? I am having so much fun training that I have let the race kind of fall to the back of my mind, which I suppose is mostly a good thing as I would like to put off the impending case of nerves for as long as possible.
On tap for today? A Bike ride, a transition run, and then a swim tonight to stretch everything out. Tomorrow, perhaps a short run in the morning, an afternoon swim and then packing my bags. The last thing I need to do before I race is change a damn tire. Thats right, I can change a car tire without batting an eye, but the thought of having to change a bike tire mid-race scares the daylights out of me, I have never done it, and I can't imagine doing it for the first time with a heart-rate of 150 and sweat dripping off my forehead, not to mention being pissed off. So I guess I'll do it tonight, want some entertainment, swing by the garage around 9 or so, there is bound to be at least a little screaming... :)
