Well my first race of the season is less than 48 hours away, and as usual I am starting to get nervous. In terms of final preparation, yesterday and today I hit the gym and lifted weights. I also bought a new helmet to replace the one that cracked in three places when I crashed. It is fairly stylish (not that that was what I was really going for), fits well, and is really easy to adjust. I must say I always get excited about getting new triathlon gear, even if it is something as boring as a helmet. I am planning to take it nice and easy tomorrow, and then it is all systems go for Sunday...
