i feel confident in my training, and my ability so nervousness is a non-issue. maybe i'm nervous because i will be out of my element. we are camping the weekend of the race. we are driving up on friday, the race is saturday, and we will stay until sunday afternoon. i love to camp but i'm a bit concerned that i won't sleep well the night before the race as i will be camping. now, i have no reason to believe this as i've always slept well when camping. i have a huge tent and it holds a queen sized blow up (basically) bed. it isn't even real camping because my husband has a bad back and can't sleep on anything less than a real bed.
i'm nervous about my nutrition and gi issues i guess. i've been thinking about this a lot. what to bring to eat. i don't really want to deviate from what i normally eat so that i don't have any stomach issues before the race. it shouldn't be hard considering i just have to have something for friday night and then saturday morning before the race. afterwards it won't matter.
i'm worried about forgetting something important and being more than an hour away from home. i have just over a week to figure it all out.
i'm sure it will be fine but my neurosis is swimming in circles in my brain. it just won't quit. one foot in front of the other and soon enough it will be over and i will probably be writing about how awesome the weekend was and what a great race i had.
