Forecasters Say...Windy White Rock
The forecast looks like it'll be a windy one on Sunday. It makes me a little nervous, but I've been told by a couple of people that I should just find someone tall and let them fight them wind...I'm down with that. I'll just bring some extra nutrition to share if said taller person notices that I'm "drafting" off of them. I'm all about making friends. I've done a couple of training runs in the wind too, so I know what I'm up against with 20 mile an hour winds...I just hope they don't last for the entire race. Oh, and it would be nice if they were at my back for part of the race too. I hope the Race Gods are listening.
The preparation is well under way. I added an extra Kashi TLC bar to the menu this afternoon and am planning on fish, potatoes and some couscous for dinner. Carbs are my friends. I've been working on a spreadsheet with all different paces that will get me to the finish line in 3:40. I've planned when I'll take gu, electrolyte tabs and crackers. I've studied the satellite pics of Google Maps like a linebacker studying film. I have some new lightweight shoes that make me feel like I'm flying. I'm ready. I'm excited. Question is, can I make it through the next two days without bursting?! I have so much ENERGY!! It's amazing what a taper can do....I'm bottling the energy up and will unleash it on Sunday, I hope.
Now, off to my last visit with Irina...I can't wait to hear her bit of Russian wisdom before the race. I'm sure it will be good.
