Monday Monday, la la la laaaa la. I can't believe its Monday and tomorrow is Tuesday and Sunday is just days away. How is this possible? How did the race come up so quickly? I'm not ready!!! I need more time! Last night I met up with JS and LW +1 for a ride in the park. We took it easy and just did a couple of loops. After spending way too long at the bike shop getting a tune up I was still having problems with my gears. I'm hoping to wake up early tomorrow to go for an easy ride along the river and to test out my shifting... I don't want any problems on Sunday! After our ride in the par JS and I made our way down to the village for dinner at Tortilla Flats. We detoured for a bit on one of the piers to watch salsa dancing-I love NY! It was funny to eat dinner in my bike shoes and my lovely (hot) spandex outfit (kit). We even made it to yogurtland (thanks LW) for dessert! By the time I arrived home with the COntessa it was close to 10 and I was exhausted and stuffed and covered in grease. Seriously, why am I always such a mess when I ride?!
Today after work I headed back across the street for a light and easy swim at the Rec Center. This week is all about tapering so everything I am doing is easy on the body- especially my very sore right calf. I love that the pool is so close and outside. I just wish the center were a bit cleaner and the lifeguards weren't sleeping- but it is free, I can't complain- all I can do is swim and work on relaxing and not exerting too much energy.
On another note I've started to give friends tshirts to wear to the race and though I ordered 24- yes 24, I'm running out! Turns out the NYC Tri is the place to be and everyone wants a cool blue shirt. Ok, maybe not everyone but just about everyone from work and all of my close friends. I am so happy everyone is coming to watch! I just hope I don't disappoint them and that I make it across the finish line in one piece!
