I made contact with a friend in Beijing who is super excited that I will be in town (after the race). Everything about this plan is just coming together. I was worried about wandering around Beijing on my own for four days after the race, now I have a visit to plan! Amazing. I still wish I could share the sightseeing with someone, but maybe this whole adventure is meant to be a solo. Things are certainly coming together so much easier than I ever expected.
Day 2: Feeling excited and scared at the same time today. Last night's training was swimming. Keeping swimming in my training program; after Midmar the hard work is already done. Just this morning the Women's Health newsletter headlined the benefits of swimming. So I swam 40 lengths in the gym pool which makes this 2.6km for the week. Still doing mostly breaststroke (good for quads) but adding in a few lengths of crawl.
I counted it as a rest day because I cheated with a slice of carrot cake. I can feel the juices starting to focus - having a goal is nice. On the fridge, my training plan is making me feel twitchy and just thinking about what I am trying to do makes my stomach turn.
Am I crazy?
