Getting registered

The finish line

Having been so long between races for both of us, the period leading up to the race is really tough. The usual feelings of confidence are replaced with feelings of self doubt, dreams that end in disaster, illusions of a poor day and cold sweats when your at the supermarket getting supplies.

It is interesting to take a step back in these situations but the time between ironman's mustn't allow you to perform this self reflection as we both struggled to act cool and calm before the race. Both registration and also packing of our gear bags was tough to stay focussed and we were really showing the stress of the upcoming event.
