Sounds like you were born ready! :)

Make sure you have your race bag ready tonight, so you don't panic over forgetting something!
 
Thanks girls....I will let ya know how it went....Lost 1 more pound on the scale and 2 more inches in the lower half lol...The rest needs to follow...lol.....
 
Placed 4th in my division and missed 3rd by 10 sec...WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO cut my time down 1.37 min....Im a very happy camper!!
 
Thanks guys..it was great....My only problem that I have to work through is the nervous stomach that makes me want to barf/poop (lol) my first mile...and then I am sick all day long after the race from nerves. This is my only realy issue. Now the hubby says the more I race the sooner it will go away becasue I will be used to how the racing works. Im sure there is some truth to that. Each race I try to take something and learn from it.....This time it was my nerves. I have to work on this...I did visualize the race this week and that did seem to help and knowing how it works made a huge difference also..

Great Job!!!!
Do you eat before you train for run? And before race??

Well done!

Nerves are good, it is the edrenaline rush that makes you sick.

This is likely to continue, but you will feel less sick as your body adjusts to the rush. Also with running this can upset your insides, many marathon runners have upset stomachs for a couple of days after - due to all that bouncing up and down ;)
 
Eating only makes it worse.....Im going just keep doing them until they are somewhat natural I guess and hope it gets a little better....
 
September 19th

Goal today is to pick a few more races for the end of the year.
To get outside when the rain stops and run
Get diet and training changed around to meet new goals
 
Great job on your race, GG! A 1:37 cut in time is fantastic!

So what are your new diet and training goals?

Am I reading that you have a triathlon in 20 days? :)
 
Yes ..that one no problem.....lol....the next one I might have to delay due to swimming issues LOLOL
 
WooooHOOOOO! A real triathlon in a month!! How long is the swim leg?

It's smart to do your first one in the swimming pool. Some people get real freaked out in the open water/ocean. Since I have lost body fat, I'm less buoyant. It takes more work now! My race in October will be in lake Pinehurst. Wet suits should be legal and they help my legs float! Keep that in mind if you choose to do an open water race. Wetsuits are a legal way of cheating! :)

You probably need to practice bricks. Getting right off your bike and running a few miles. The very first race I did, I was shocked because my legs felt like tree trunks and after going 18mph on the bike, I felt like I was a turtle crawling.

Let us know how long that swim/bike/run is, you made need to eat some gels.
 
UGH I tried a gel and it was nasty LOL...need to experiment with them I guess LOL....37 laps which is 1/2 mile swim......I rode 10 miles the other day and then ran 3 right after and thought I was dying lol...what a change when you are doing it back to back!!
 
Sept 19th.....

Okay I need to talk to Shadow lol
Diet macros...50 c/30 pro/20 fat.....is this to out of whack??

Yesterday ran 4.5 miles....just a slow run but ran it all with out stoping....wooo hoo
 
hey gg....congrats on your time and your placing :)

question...are you eating anything before the races? are they at night or usually in the morning? what are you eating the night before? i played collegiate tennis so i know that nerves can reak havoc on your eating habits...but i would force down a shake a few hours before to make sure i has some fuel for my match.
 
Well they are in the am......so if I ate I am soooo pukey for the first mile....combo of food and nerves....so I tried to eat goo....which is gel and I couldn't do it...way to sweet for me...any ideas would be great...I do eat carbs with every meal and snack the day before......my biggest problem jpt is nerves...they are gonna kill me lol
 
well, everyone has there own way of dealing with nerves....that is an individual obstacle only you can figure out...for me personally i looked at myself in the mirror and calle myself a p#ssy countless times b/c when you think about it there;s really nothing to get nervous about...your not getting sent off to war...your not jumping pff a cliff...etc etc....i made myself have fun!!! of course it didn't always work....and sometimes the nerves made me play better. it's just something you need to deal with.

my advice nutrition wise would be to eat a ton of pasta the night before or some oatmeal....or maybe even a shake with 1 cup or 1 cups of oats. you need energy to compete gg!!
 
nerves can be good as well to get the adrenal going but too much is bad. You prepare yourself pretty good for the races RELAX LOL I know easy for me to say!

I can't eat before a 5k.......I cramp up if I do....so I have to run on an empty stomach or just a couple of egg whites......I chew gum when I run to keep my mouth moist (can't drink water either or I cramp) & wear a nose strip so I can breathe.....

Okay that is what I have to the night before....I just have to find what works with my body .......My hibby says "run your own race" and keep entering them so you get used to them lol...which I think there is alot if truth there too! Thanks for your advice...I will work with this one!

Jen....I can't drink water because my nerves make me have to pee every 10 min lol...but I drink a ton the week before which they say makes a big difference....

You should always drink - even if its just sips. You will find when you start running the urge to pee will subside.
 
Sept 20th....Morning morning....

Ran 3.7 miles this am and swam 1 hour and rode the bike 3 miles becasue I talked to Duck to long lolol....Blame it on Duck...sounds good lolol
 
Nerves are a tough one. Most relaxation techniques require you to be relaxing physically, really all your left with is deep breathing, and guided imagery. Maybe if you picture yourself calm, you will be calmer or fixate on your breathing.

Regardless congrats on your personal best, and good luck to your upcoming comp!
