How do I feel about Kielder long
distance triathlon?
Trepid. Pretty much sums it up. I’m not nervous as such. I’m not sure I’m confident either. Confident implies some sort of surety that I
am going to finish – but I’m just not sure.
If you ask me if I feel confident – I’ll say yes because I’m so relaxed
and I feel like I’ve done most (not all) of the training I planned… but I’m not
sure – not sure I’ll finish, not sure I’ll enjoy it. I’m unsure about many things but mostly they
come down to: not being able to finish the swim again (trying not to let
history rule my fears) or getting timed out on the bike or getting timed out on
the run.
Most other things can be
fixed. If my bike breaks, I’ll fix
it. If I can’t run, I’ll walk. Time (or rather speed) and water temperature
are my biggest fears.
On a secondary scale – being
driven mad by biting midges is also up there but I am confident that I can
suffer this better than some others and I have “Smidge” with me.
