Cleveland Steelman: It’s Even In My Dreams

With only just over a week to go ’till race day, I’m starting to feel the pressure. Nothing I can’t handle - what happens next Saturday is now largely decided by the training I’ve done up to now. As the man said,

Alea iacta est

But it’s still kinda irritating - every time I think about the race, my heart rate spikes and my palms get a little damp. It’s even invaded my dreams. So far, all Good Dreams - none of the running around transition looking for my bike and wondering what my mother’s doing there on a sit-up-and-beg bike, while at the same time I realise that I’ve got one bike shoe on and one running shoe. Nope, none of that wierd stuff.

At least not so far.

Seven days to go.

    Are you going to go and look at the course this weekend to help with mental preparation?

    Go watch a movie. Read a book. Play wii.

    Anything to get your mind somewhere else. Just don’t drink it away (trust me, it doesn’t help). ;)

    Trust in your training. You’re ready for this.
