Wednesday taper swim 9/4/13

Today all I had was a 20 minute swim so I opted to do so before work. When I hit the snooze button I didn't even have to worry since it was such a short workout!  Boom!!!

I got to the gym around 6:30 and hopped in the pool for a quickie. It was nice to read the pool is going to be closed soon for a week's worth of cleaning.  It's been gross!

When I was finishing up, I noticed that Larry was there again. He's a nice older guy who worked out of our office for some time. It's always nice to see him but also a bit strange to see a "colleague" while I'm in a swimsuit and he's in a Speedo!  Thankfully he's a supportive type and gave me a lot of positive support for the race this weekend. 

I'm also going to Dr. Ryan over lunch for 30 minutes for my last pre-race session. He is going to continue to work on my glutes, IT band, ankles and hips. He is probably going to be in Madison spectating on Sunday as well. Apparently Dr. Tracey from his office will be practicing ART up there this weekend as well. 

Following that, I'm headed to Frum Jewelers to finalize my post-race reward!!!!  An item I've dreamed about since I was a high schooler!  A nice watch...  I'm having it shipped to friends in Madison so they can give it to me after I've finished. I'm slightly superstitious and this makes me feel more calm about it! :)
