In Penticton - three days to race day

Got up this morning and went for my last pre-race swim. It started poorly. But after about 15 minutes I found my groove and was just swimming along thinking about other things. I NEED to remember this on Sunday...

When fatigue, doubt, and pain descend just keep going and these feeling WILL pass. Before long your mind WILL find something else to focus on, at least for a little while.

I am reminded of Uncle Garth's mantra (adapted to my own use): "Never ever ever ever ever effing walk."

I am prepared to go slower. Slow down and these feeling do, in fact, pass.
