So I am now on the road trip south, stopping off and doing a small combination of swim bike and run tourist trips.
The campervan is packed to the rafters with all the race items for each discipline along with water bottles everywhere. There is real temptation to do the extra session here are there just to build my confidence and reduce the anxiety that is building up with the realisation that the race is on Saturday.
My last long bike ride is now complete which leaves leaves small sessions of 10-15minutes per discipline just to keep the arms and legs going. The smaller sessions now leaves me with ample time on my hands and therefore more discipline is required, as it is still the summer holidays in NZ there is a real temptation to have a cheeky beer or two.....and I can't lie, the occasional one has passed my lips.
Nutritional loading is now the focus, pasta pasta and more pasta washed down with high protein and carb mix drinks. Very rarely am I seen without a bottle of electrolytes or some other liquid.
I am now in Wanaka with the buzz of the town and the race week and crowds, more light training sessions along with a swim in the lake to gauge the temperature.
The weather forecast is looking cool which is great...but let's wait and see.
