Just over a week until we head to Austria and trepidation is beginning to set in. The bulk of the training is done. The swimming has improved over the last couple of weeks. Cycling is good with 8 century rides in the build up. Running has gone backwards a bit with the heat but its okay.
The fear is down to the temperature. Its 30 degrees here and hotter in Austria. I really wanted a sub 12 IM. However after Frankfurt I know what high temperature does to the plans. The swim is probably going to be non wetsuit. That will cost me at least 10mins. The bike should be okay as long as I can get plenty fluid in. The run could be 4hrs. It could also be 5 and a half hours.
So yes I'm nervous. Extra pressure on as I know this is realistically my last one.
Nothing I can do about it but wait and see.
