After a nail biting week of wondering about the future of the Rumpass in Bumpass Olympic (my first race of the year), I am starting to feel a little excited:
- The water is supposedly warm enough for the swim (60 degrees). I really don't believe this rumor - and may regret saying this - but am hopeful that a somewhat icy swim still trumps having to run twice.
- An open water swim practice could actually happen prior to race day thanks to TRIgirl JS' offer to head up on Friday.
- Related to the above, race eve festivities include a yummy sounding dinner.
- I'll be surrounded by great fellow racers and sherpas - I may be bribing SuperAnnn to pour hot water from her volunteer kayak during the Lake Anna swim.
- Weather for the day is predicted to be sunny and in the upper 70s.
- I am enjoying "Where the Wild Things Are" quotes to mentally prepare for a fun "rumpus."
- The bike course sounds lovely and rolling.
- Runs have sucked ever so slightly less this week.
- Shoulder movement has increased, as well as interesting little popping sounds.
- There may be an awesome wine, named in honor of the race (or let's pretend), to break open to celebrate.
