Feeling flat

I’m two days out from my first Olympic Distance triathlon and I should be excited. Instead I am feeling flat.

I’m tired. The weather is atrocious. The swim is likely to get cancelled as the deluge of rain will wash too much pollution into the bay. I have to get up at 5am on a Sunday. Woe is me!

Seriously I’m lacking a bit of energy, thinking it’s a bit of a combination of first week back in the office and hot weather (I know I said it’s wet – just really humid as well).

Hoping I can pull it together and have a good race on Sunday. If they do cancel the swim it will most likely become a run-ride-run, which actually suits me, but the 1500m swim of this race was meant to be a dressed rehearsal/warmup for my half-Ironman in three weeks.

Wish me luck!
