The checklist

- Despite good training so far, suddenly feeling unprepared and anxious. Check.

- Planning my outfit and then second guessing which tri top I should wear. Check.

- Wondering where my What To Pack For A Triathlon checklist is. Check.

- Drinking as much water as possible. Check.

- Questioning my decision to wear new socks in the race. Check.

- Knowing I need to eat healthy foods but craving crap because I've been SO good for SO long. Check.

- Related to above, wondering when it's too early to start carb-loading. Check.

- Obsessively checking Saturday's weather forecast. Check.

Yup. It's race week!

Gotta love taper madness and race nerves

- Why the deliemna on the race top?

- Plenty of checklist online, if you cant find it, google it

- Drinking, SMART MOVE!!!

- Save it for after the race, treat yourself for all the hardwork and the reward of the finishline, what would you get?

- Carb loading, so many conflicting information out there by highly respected coaches, I went with 48 hours out.

- Enjoy the reward for all your hard work!!!

You rock, BDD!

Oh, and I think my post-race treat next week will be a Bobbie. Google Capriotti's and you will see... YUM. Haven't had one in nearly a year, I think!

Which race are you doing again? Second guessing everything is perfectly normal. As for a list, James over at Power Multisport (http://www.powermultisport.com/) gave me the idea to create a picture checklist which I did here for NOLA http://blog.ransick.org/2011/04/hes-making-list-and-check-it-twice.html . Hope it helps and good luck!
