A few days out...

Today was the first day I wished it was race day...funny, eh? It's like Christmas...it never gets here fast enough and then, when it does arrive, it goes by too fast. Well, something tells me that I'll have plenty of time to relish in the warm fuzzies of it all grinding it out on the bike.
Ok, back to being nervous about it...damn it. I go from being super psyched to wondering if Mexican Jumping Beans do really exist and if I have mysteriously consumed an entire cans' worth just recently. How does this happen?
Lisa is here and is also getting ready for her race, too. She's got such a great outlook on this race. And, wether she knows it or not, has been instrumental in keeping my feet on the ground (or my head out of my ass...not too sure which is more appropriate at this juncture...) about it all. As she says, "...Ally, it's just a swim, and then a bike ride and then a run...you've done it before, right?". Well put, Lisa.
After tonight's sleep, it's only 2 more sleeps...and, you guessed it...the pendulum has brought me back to being excited again. :)
