Small steps

It occurred to me last night, that training for a race is no different than anything else in life…it is just a series of small steps, taken one at a time. Not earth-shattering. Just a reminder that when it feels a bit overwhelming, remember that a small step is all it takes, right now, to move me in the right direction. Just a small step.

Which right now, is packing for the race on Sunday, the Indian Well 70.3. I’m driving down, and want to organize my gear in a way that is easy to check-in for Saturday. This means separating the bike bag, run bag and other gear. Bike, bike bag, run bag, AND wetsuit all need to be checked in on Saturday. Wetsuit needs to be soaked in a chlorinated solution of questionable odiferous quality.
