Approaching My First Tri

I’m down to the final week before my first tri.  I’m felling a lot more apprehensive that I have for other races.

I’m questioning my training.  Have I biked enough?  How will the swim be with all the other swimmers?  Have I taken away too much from my running while working on the other disciplines?

In the end, my wife reminds me that I’m just too competitive.  It’s not a matter of finishing, I’m confident that I’ll do that, it’s that I want to go out and excel at something that I’m just starting.  I need to keep reminding myself that I’ve got to start somewhere, so I can get some sleep over the next week.
