Four days to the opening gun

My first triathlon of the season is this coming Sunday! It's the White Lake sprint (750 m swim, 14 mile bike, 5k run). On paper it seems to be the perfect way to open the season: the bike and run are supposed to be quite flat.

My goal is to finish in 1' 45".

Last night I did my final real workout, a 40 minute run in a pretty hilly area. It was tough, but felt good.

From now until Sunday I must force myself to rest a lot. Tomorrow I will do a short swim, Saturday a short bike the day before the triathlon. By 'short' I mean 15 minutes, just enough to get my blood flowing.
