Off to concur the Bear

What's this? Just the tiniest bit of nerves? Have they returned? Could I tiniest bit excited, worried, nervous, unsure about Black Bear tomorrow? Well, yes! And that's good I think. I've missed having a little nervousness for my races. I don't want a full on anxiety attack or anything, but, just a little nervousness is good.

I need to get headed off to the Poconos soon for the Black Bear Sprint triathlon. And pack. I don't feel like packing. I already did my bike for 20 mins this morning and run 2 miles this morning. Mark is going to come to take the doggies for an overnight visit. They are sad they will miss Black Bear. They love it there. They are crossing their paws that I take them to Mooseman next week.

I feel a little tired, but not too bad. My legs were so tired earlier in the week. I ended up taking Thursday off too. I drooped my migraine meds down another level that day which made me feel funky. Between that and therapy, I was not up for workouts. At therapy, he suggested I also try going to this group therapy. I have to think about it. That would be difficult for me, but maybe a good challenge and something that would help me progress more. The first session is next Thursday evening, so I can't make it anyway.

Yesterday I swam and ran after work. A super short swim. Only 1100m total!
3x100-25 kick, 25 right arm, 25 left arm, 25 swim
500-50 race pace, 50 easy
200 kick easy
100 cd
Wahoo!

My legs felt a little tired, but not like Wednesday and they had some snap to them which is always good. I had 2x90 sec intervals with 3 min easy. And did most of the run with a nice quick cadence.

Then I went out with Matt and Genine to "carbo load". More of an excuse for yummy pasta and dessert, but definitely fun!

I should get packing and get other stuff done so that I don't miss packet pickup at 5! Time to concur the Bear!
