Visualization

Tomorrow (Sunday) morning I will compete in The Great South Bay Triahlon, my first sprint distance triathlon. I have previously done two super-sprint races with pool swims, but this race has an open water swim. For the past few days I have been going through the race over and over in my head and visualizing my tactics. I can see myself running into the water and navigating the swim course then running into transition for the bike. I see the plan I need to take on the bike to ensure I have enough legs for the run and I see my feet pounding the pavement and taking me to the finish line. As long as I can keep my nerves, stay calm and run the race I know I'm capable of, I'll be able to handle any problems that come my way.

I will update tomorrow after the race to let you know how I do!
