STAYING FOCUSED


GAAHHH!
I wish that I could shut off the competitive drive that tells me "You have to be faster than you've ever been" at my tri this weekend. 

I'm trying to convince myself that speed doesn't matter. 

But the truth is I don't want to suffer through another race. 
I want to be fast - feel fast - (heaven knows I won't look fast)

I signed up for this race because I wanted to finish the season strong.
That most likely isn't going to happen.
I've put the training time in... but this is a hard race.

The coarse is hard. I probably will suffer and barely finish.
So how do I handle the reality that this might not go as totally awesome as I has planned?

Try not to care.... i guess?
Easier said than done.
Stupid.

To my incredible running partner: Anyone that passes you is out of the race, you are the only one in it! All you have done to get there is amazing! I hope you can go, enjoy, celebrate you and your amazingness and have a fun weekend. I'm cheering you on and will be thinking of you.
