Minor Jitters

It is a good thing I've read all about getting jittery the day before the big event, because I find my mind playing tricks on me. It is all subtle - mostly it is looking at other athletes and thinking "wow, they look more fit than me" or seeing somebody working out and thinking "I better do one more [swim/bike/run] workout just to make sure!!". Of course, rest is most important at this point; all the work was done over the previous weeks.

My whole goal is to finish, and have fun during the event! To that end, I will pace myself quite conservatively.

After so long, it is hard to believe the day is finally here.
