The Solitary Athlete

Simulation Preparation.

February 14, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Had a day of total rest. Initially, I’d planned to go squad swimming in the morning but it was raining when I awoke and it was dark outside, felt cool and cosy, so I decided to sleep-in instead. Ended up waking up sometime after 0800hrs – wow, I haven’t had a sleep-in like this for awhile now. Its a big deal coming from a lifelong non-morning person. Heh.

As I was participating in the race simulation the following morning, I spent the rest of the day between preparing all the gear required for the simulation and driving the course. I went through my triathlon checklist afew times to make sure I had packed everything needed.

As part of the race simulation, I also spent some time documenting everything that I had consumed in the two days prior to the simulation. Its been raining quite hard throughout the day. Fingers crossed that we have better weather than this tomorrow.

Oh, Happy Valentine’s Day to one & all !!!
