Last week and just relaxing . Did some easy rides and short runs and will swim at Busso just to get the arms moving .
I am sure there will be a bit of nervous tension about . I tend to see it as a long training day and have done so for a few years . The weather forecast looks good and just getting to the start line with no injuries is a good start.
The gear is packed and training done. Just need to execute the Plan and pace the race. Whilst not really Triathlon relevant the article on Dylan Bowman an ultra runner does resonate when doing any ultra event:
