Race Anxiety & What The F Was I Thinking?!

Posted on April 21, 2012 by runinboise

What a day.

And I am a dense brick. I did something stupid today.

I went on a bike ride.

Yeah, a little bike ride to burn off some pre-race jitters. Keep loose, yea no big deal.

Yeah. I didn’t pick the best location. I dropped my car off at the 1st shuttle drop off tomorrow and decided to bike as far as I could to make it easier for the BF to pick me when he got off work. Yeah. I totally forgot that the car drop off was just a little farther and mountainous then what I was thinking of….

SO, if you saw me pushing my bike uphill on Highway 21, and cruising downhill (no pedaling for 6 miles -SIX – so worth it) without a helmet…

That was me.

Sometimes I need someone to tell me that I am not thinking clearly. Because sometimes – I Don’t.

Sometimes I just need to learn my own lessons. 

For the Lake Lowell Marathon, I WON’T be doing something stupid.

I learned my lesson. But I did burn off some much needed anxiety. Which was soooo needed.

The “Rooster Tail.” And I got to see a ton of Woodpeckers on the way back. Usually, I see one here and there and on my “venture” I got to see at least 10. So cool.
