(post 11)Vancouver bound

For a very long time it seemed like the race season might never come around – it felt like I was just training and training and training…But all of a sudden I’m seriously in the thick of race season with the Big One – the Worlds in Vancouver – looming large.
I fly off to Canada tomorrow and will be staying with friends in North Vancouver ahead of the race, which is on Saturday week (June 7).

Things have been pretty hectic over the last few days, so I haven’t had that much of a chance to think about it all, but it is definitely both exciting and a little nerve-racking to think the main race I’ve been working towards is approaching at lightning speed.

I know I shouldn’t be nervous: I’m on great form and continue to train well, but I guess I wouldn’t be human if I didn’t feel at least a few butterflies when I visualise the race and the various ways it might unfold. I’m not sure which I should be more nervous about, though – the race itself or flying from Heathrow Terminal 5 with the Chrono!

Will hopefully have a great result to tell you about next time I’m on the bloggle.

Cheers
