6 days to go

My triathlon is Saturday. I'm fairly terrified.

Although I now know how to ride my bike, I still haven't ridden 15 miles on it. And 15 miles is a long ways.

What if I start out on the swim too fast and wear myself out in the first two minutes?

I'm not very good at running on hills, and the course is described as "hilly."

Will people make fun of me if I walk?

Can I walk my bike up the steep hills?

I'm a little worried that I'll fall off my bike while taking a drink of water.

What if I finish last?


OK, now my worries are out there. I'm sure I'll be fine. No doubt the race will be incredibly difficult. But as Sarah reminded me, this time next week, I'll be a triathlete. That's pretty cool.
