I'm also keeping a close eye on Hurricane Ida. At this point, it looks like Ida is a now a tropical storm--it "weakened" as it hit Alabama with winds averaging only 45 mph. Psshh haha.

Even though it looks like the storm is headed in Florida's direction, the forecast for CW is showing that race day shouldn't be anything too gnarly--predicted weather is partly cloudy, high of 79, 20% chance of rain. What do I know, though. Whatever the case ends up being, I'm ready! The more extreme, the better the race report, right?In the meantime I have to hammer through two major exams this afternoon, back-to-back, in Environmental Exercise Phys and Stats. (Another reason why I refuse to drop the caffeine this week.) I'd much rather be lounging around stress-free, packing and getting as much extra rest as possible, but life had other plans for me. At least I won't have to study on the plane ride home, yuck. However, I have a power-point presentation to do next Monday in Sports Nutrition and am toying with the idea of practicing in front of the passengers on the plane home. Doubt they'll care about fish oil supplementation though. Maybe if I hand out free samples. Hmmmm.
all the stuff you have going will keep u occupied. You are too much of an overachiever, all you had to do was lounge around, you would go nuts. (that was a compliment even if it didn't sound like one). This is a good thing. I am crossing my fingers the storm passes. Now that its hit land I think you'll be fine. Go SMASH IT!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on your exams! Staying busy is sometimes better than lounging around. You are so ready for this race. Keeping my fingers crossed that the weather holds out. Have a blast. Can't wait to read all about it.
ReplyDelete"The more extreme, the better the race report, right?" - HELLYEAH!
ReplyDeleteHave an awesome race! We'll be cheering for you from home!!
ReplyDeleteIda was no biggie :) just a bunch of rain and wind. Tomorrow it's going to be sunny and perfect again! good luck this weekend! I tried to shift my schedule to make it down there - but it just didn't work out :( So I'll be cheering for you from home!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck in Clearwater! I am looking forward to your RR! And good luck on the exams!
ReplyDeleteGive up caffeine? Did someone suggest this? Sounds like idiocracy that would come from Ian. Don't listen to him.
ReplyDeleteAll the best to you to spend your time as per your wish. This is helpful in restoring the energy in the body to overcome all the stresses.
