All the preparations are complete. Weeks of training runs building mileage & distance culminating with a 15+ miler 2 weeks ago. Two weeks of tapering. Two days without running. I've ridden the course on my bicycle so that I'm familiar with the ups & downs and turns. My diet has been good. My conditioning is good. I feel fit. At 60 years old, I'm 5ft. 9in., 149 lbs., 7% body fat, resting pulse 41 b.p.m., blood pressure: 128/58. I should do well.
We're having a nice whole-wheat pasta dinner with salad and some sweet potato biscuits. I'll even have a beer tonight to help me relax. In the morning, I'll have some blueberries with FiberOne, Activia Light and some flax seed mixed in about 2 hours before the race starts. The weather forecast is for 59 degrees F. at race start. Nice.
I'm ready. All I have to do is run.
