One week until Cane Creek. This is probably one of the most crucial weeks of your training. No matter how your training has been, the day is coming. There are a number of emotions that you could be feeling at this point in the game: anxious, nervous, excited, pumped, energized, scared, fearful, and indecisive. No matter what your level is, I want you to reconnect with why you decided to join the training group.
Was it to complete your first triathlon?
Was it to increase your time?
Was it because a friend or family member dragged you into it?
Regardless of your answer the end result is the same and it doesn't change the fact that you have a triathlon in 7 days. Here is some advice to think about in your last week of training:
1. Be confident in the training that you have done and the work you put into this goal. No matter how much or how little.
2. Re-evaluate what you would like to accomplish on Saturday. Do you want to focus on time, the run, bike, or swim portion, or just getting through it?
3. As your wrap up your training, take some time this week while you are doing a run, swim, or bike to clearly envision your success on Saturday. Picture yourself at each transition and especially at the finish line.
4. Go out there and do your best. You can't change the would of, could of, or should of's.
5. Lastly, I leave you with this one quote:
"The only one who can tell you 'you can't' is you. And you don't have to listen." --Nike
Go For It!
