Some pre-race musing

Once again, my build up to this race hasn't been great. The after-midnight work days on Sunday and Thursday really hit hard after the last couple of weeks and, to be honest, I feel a bit blah right now. I've also missed two swims this week, and 40 minutes of riding which makes me sad!

I'm still going to race on Sunday, and I'm going to stick to the plan I set out earlier (first half in 55, blat the second). Keeping a 5:00ish pace was fine during my last E2 effort, and my legs are feeling pretty good, so I think this is doable. If not, there's always Auckland!

Good luck for Sunday. I hope it's not like last year. Great time out to turn then most people lost about 5mins on 2nd half into strong headwind. Just make sure the pre-race nutrition is good & you'll be fine.
