Near the Zeibright Mine worksite.

Last weekend:

The front garden at home. Note the trellis the guys built!

Last night:

Workout notes from last night: approximately 2.5-3 miles on the track, one timed 1,600-m in 10:35. Started having massive, frenzied doubts about being able to do this...

Even one time around a stupid track oval is hell. Oval tracks bring back memories of high school gym class and shin splints from my short-lived hurdle-training. And they are BORING. What do you mean I'm not done? I've already run around the track.

But you won't be running around a stupid oval for the race, you'll be running a much nicer loop (at least I expect it's a loop, most tris have the swim/bike and bike/run transition at the same place) so you'll always have new things to see.

Sgt. Apone will probably be more motivating than I can be, but I trust that by the time you get to the race, you'll finish without puking.

Thanks for the support, woman. I'm trying to draw confidence from the fact that some of my teammates (in my running group, even) have done this triathlon before & they aren't worried. Faith that the coaches know what they're doing. And some self-assurance that I WILL finish this race.

You'll finish. No worries. You still have a lot of time to train for the race. Your fantastic bike will make the ride so easy that you'll be refreshed for the run. And you already know the swim's no big deal.
