This was race prep day. Fancy Fancy. I ate as normal throughout most of the day...but by 5:45pm my energy was bad and crashing and my muscles looked a little deflated. This is when I know my glycogen stores are low. This sounds weird but I can it see everywhere, but it in my Quads especially, they start looking stringy..haha..kinda gross...Called hubby and had him bring me a snickers bar and a Diet Dr. Pepper, I needed cheater pants energy for transition practice...

So I started off at about noon headed to American Fork since I had not taken my bike around the course..It is a 2 loop course..coach said, do it slow 3-4x..But as you know it was pretty cold....and WINDY. I swear I was almost knocked over a few times..haha...Chickened out after 1 loop (5.9mile bike). Very glad I got that loop in tho..psychologically for the race I was totally prepared.

6pm I went to the church parking lot near my house for transition practice. Still windy and cold. I didn't do the full practice where I practice the full T1 and T2. I just did a mini version where I just keep my helm on the entire time, but practice the flying mount. In this my cycling shoes are clamped in the pedal and the velcro is open wide so I can just run barefooted, and hop on my bike once I exit the transition area. Then I pedal with my feet on top of my shoes and get my feet in while riding. Ideally I would get one foot in in one swoop on the flying mount, I am not quite there yet. So once I got my feet velcro'd in I unvelcro'd while riding for the dismount...swing my right leg over my bike and run in. Did that maybe only 10x..Was so cold..my lips were turning blue..Well they always turn blue...I'm a cold person.

Went to the gym to  work out any kinks. Did a 1.25mi run on the mill with 3 20sec accelerations for the fun of it. Then did a slow 500yd swim.

Hit Cafe Rio since I still felt I might need the energy. Was half and half on it...50/50...Is this a good move or not? I might tank on the race if my energy is low...I might have a bad race if I wake up retaining water from oversalted food. SO I went with the grub..Pork Burrito Enchilada style HoT..Yes Guac and Sourcream! Ate half of it.

Stretched legs 15 min.
