Babes and Bums and My Badunkadunk, Part 2

Tomorrow I face the Babes and Bums triathlon and I am unbelievably nervous as I have no idea what to expect. Although I have trained hard for it, this is still my first triathlon.

During my training, I have conquered each component of the triathlon and I feel confident about each individual sport but I have yet to tackle the entire race in one go. For this race, time is not my focus. I am simply driven to completing the race and going the distance. For me, the experience is the challenge.

At dinner tonight, I will eat wheat pasta, but I will refrain from consuming any alcohol beverages. No margaritas for me, although wine does pair nicely with pasta. Tonight will also bring an early bedtime for so I can try to get a good night’s sleep. Usually I find it difficult to sleep the night before a race because my mind is filled with worry about the race the next day. I hope I can sleep well tonight because I was wide wake at 3:00 a.m. this morning.

In this triathlon, swimming is the last leg. Please pray that I do not drown from exhaustion in the pool.

Good luck! Your family must be so proud of you–I can barely do 30 minutes on the treadmill!

Good luck. Your dedicated and successful pursuit of physical fitness, when you previously had little interest in it, might qualify as a “life lesson” for others.
