What have I signed up for???

Oh my goodness what have I signed up for????

This is me this afternoon after a little training session

I'm just a little bit scared, I was even close to crying this afternoon as I was training.  Let's just say I'm a lot scared.

I'm not scared of the Multi Stage Marathon I've signed up to do over 7/3 - 10/3.  I know I can do three 10km runs and a 12.2km run over four consecutive days.  Yes, it's going to be tiring but I know I can do it.

But, I'm scared of five days later competing in a Pinkie Triathlon.  I thought it would be reasonably easy - 300m swim/9km bike ride/3km run.  I've been training hard swimming, getting my swimming fitness up to scratch.

Tonight I decided I needed to practice riding then transitioning to a run.  OMG!!!!! JELLY LEGS!!!!  I rode 9km in 30 mins, then came home, grabbed the dog and went for a 3km run.  The first 1km was the hardest one km I've run in a very long time.  Never experienced those jelly legs before.   I was running down the road, dog in tow, wanting to stop, sit in the gutter and cry that it was too hard.  Felt like I had to run a  half marathon, not just 3km.  Definitely need more of that training.

Earned my burn tonight!!!
