Pre-Race Lake Placid

The atmosphere up here is electrifying.  There are athletes everywhere.  There are Ironman flags, banners, gear everywhere.  There is spandex everywhere you look.  On the beach there is a sea of athletes wearing wetsuits.  There are the fittest looking people everywhere I turn.  I second guess my training at every moment.  I question my fitness with every thought.  Have I done everything I could of done to prepare for this?  Have I rested enough or pushed to hard?  Is my game plan going to work?   BUT it is finally here and there is nothing that you can change now.  All the miles have been logged, all the long hours have been spent in the water, on the bike or on the pavement.  It is finally here and now I have to channel all that training into this one race.  I need to stay focused, stick to my game plan, race smart and go like hell.  I am excited and am looking forward to this adventure.  I will go in as a triathlete and hopefully come out being an IRONMAN!!!!  Can't wait and all my questions will soon be answered.
