Twas the Night before the Triathlon

Bookmark and Share

Remember that Seinfeld where the marathon runner, Jean-Paul, is staying with Jerry and the power goes off the night before the race? And Kramer's "mental alarm" doesn't go off so they miss the start of the race? That episode keeps running through my mind as I get ready for tomorrow's race. For what it's worth, I'm setting a phone alarm, regular alarm, and getting a wake-up call. The race starts at 7:30 AM.

I've got a few butterflies floating around my stomach, but I'm sort of relieved that the race has finally arrived. I still don't feel 100% physically. And the grotto pizza may not have helped. But I couldn't resist! I'm trying to remember a couple pieces of advice: trust your training and have fun! Hopefully all of the swimming, biking, and running pays off tomorrow.

For the other NCCers who are racing, I'm #8.

the best part of the episode is when kramer accidentally hands the dude the hot cup of coffee during the race.

good luck to you.

Nice greasy Grotto's is exactly what the doctor ordered for the night before a race...

Hope everything went well with the race! I did my first triathlon about a month ago and can't wait to do another. That's something I never thought I would say.
