Hello SeaWheeze 2015

My last run of the taper is over today. It feels weird to know that I don’t have to do anything (you know, other than pack, make it through airport security, fly, successfully make it into Canada…) before the race on Saturday. It’s almost here, and I think I’m (mostly) ready.

From here on out, it’s about staying hydrated and relaxed.

Last year’s race!

My left ankle has been bothering me in an odd spot, so I’m doing my best to not stress about it and do everything I can to help it feel better. I’ve got my compression socks on with my work shoes, and I’ve decided I’m not going to worry about it.

Since our Airbnb reservation got cancelled last week, stress has been through the roof. But we (magically) worked it out, and our trip is shaping up to be even better than planned.

This is the first time I have ever finished an entire 14 week training cycle without an injury catastrophe. And damn it feels good to know I’m honestly, for real, ready.

Let’s do this.
