One week to go! And another new experience for me!

Another mammoth training day. Saturday morning started at 7:15am in Central Park. We were late and missed the group and had to cab it to catch them. Yes it's embarrassing, but this really is the first time we've ever done it! We did run part of the way over to the where our race will start next week. We were taken through the transition area and looked at the water we'll be swimming in. We saw the hills we'll have to climb to get out of Riverside Park and took note of where the toilets are.

There is tremedous nervous energy and excitement amongst the group. For me included. We then ran back to Central Park and did a short 3 mile run in the park before heading off to the subway to Coney Island. This was great. We swam as a group in the ocean between two rock jetties. Felt good. Still nervous though. Then we spent the afternoon on the beach just relaxing and I got a hand print sunburt onto my back. Great.
