So despite being really tired last night - my mind was just buzzing and I wasn't about to get to sleep until about 2 or 3am again. So frustrating - I ended up deciding this morning, after getting up and dressed etc to go back to bed and take the extra sleep vs heading to the pool. I knew I had a run speed work session tonight and had a feeling there would be little to no chance of getting to that if I swam, then worked all day.
Thankfully - I did manage to get myself out to meet the C3 gang and run. It was 2min hard 1 min easy out from Innis Lake to Old Church (on the path) and then back again. The lack of sleep caught up to me I will admit and I really felt it. But for at least 5 or 6 of the repeats I was managing to average under 5min/km. I am really happy that I got out and ran about 8k today. It's days like this that will go into the mental vault leading up to Ironman.
In all honesty I'm starting to worry that I'm not training enough and I'm scared. I also keep watching video's of Mt. Tremblant Ironman - and just watching other people cross the line gets me super emotional. I'm seriously hoping that the weather starts to cooperate so I can start getting some quality rides in outside. Saturday is tapped for 100km so fingers crossed I'll be able to get out and do it - weather permitting of course. Saturday's ride will be followed by a half marathon in Toronto. So hopefully good weather holds up and I have a good solid training weekend. I'm starting to feel like I really need it for my confidence. Hopefully I can keep things going this week and moving forward so that I can feel confident and ready to race both the half and the (gulp) full Ironman coming up… Crazy exciting - and nervous and scared all at the same time.
