GFTW 29: So...How Was the Race?

Funny, I meant to post the following out this am, and somehow it didn't get through. Dang computer. So the following below mite lose some of it's luster...but it helped today;-):

The race and the entire experience was incredible. What a journey! Everything went according to race plan: My swim went actually well, my T1 was seamless. I felt confident and strong on the bike and pushed myself while staying in my zone. My T2 was smooth enough, and I ran my race, high fived my kids, and pushed through til the end.

Okay...sounds a lil' too perfect eh? Well, I actually haven't raced yet. Don't mean to psyche ya out over here! But I'm posting this b/c this is what I WANT to say when people ask my tomorrow  'So, how was the race?'

So I'm setting this to post at my swim start- 7am. So I'm either racing or I'm finished and attempting to take in the post race vibes and celebration. Or I'm puckered out on my couch and wanting a nap.


(Well, I'll tell you now...the race was fab, and can't wait to share in a post manana!;-)

But I still wanted to post my Goals for the Week. And guess what? I'm not setting any. Because my mind and body need a break-just like in training eh? And what better week to do so than now. And this rest week makes me realize I should have taken a mental break in Spring as well. Would have been good for me. Aw well. It's all a learning process right?



So that's my Goal for the Week: take a rest week. 

 I look forward to giving the real race report. In the meantime, here's a pic of the pre- race- It's me with Sister Madonna, the oldest female to do Kona Ironman.


That's it for me. And I have all your good vibes with me out on race day.
Now, how about you? Do you take rest weeks? What do you have planned on your radar this week? I wanna read all about your juicy life puckered out on my couch!;-)
