Before I take the plunge

So my dear reader, before I take the plunge I wanted to give you one last post. According to my countdown in 1 day, 9 hours and 28 minutes I will be splashing into a lake to begin my very first triathlon.
Confession: I haven't been biking in almost 1 1/2 weeks, I haven't been swimming in 1 week and I haven't been running in 2 weeks. I may be the worst triathlete EVER! My dad asked me tonight if I had begun to "taper" my workouts, I told him I was sufficiently tapered.
Yet I still believe that I can finish this puppy in less than an hour and 45 minutes--we shall see.
Needless to say, I already have pre-race jitters: my stomach is turning, my heart is pounding, and I feel that at any moment I might jump out of my skin.
My dad said we would enjoy a pre-race meal the morning of at Waffle House. . .I said no thanks. I don't think my stomach will handle that.
The thing is I am fine with the swim and the bike! I can do those combined in less than 1 hour and 10 minutes, but it is a question of if I can do the run. I keep telling myself that I ran 13.1 miles with 6 weeks of training-- really 5 because the last week I "tapered"-- I can run 3. Stop getting so worked up, self!
I hope to come back to you on Saturday afternoon and say I tore up my 1:45 goal and finished in 1:30 but I am HIGHLY doubting that will happen.
Until then, Adios! Think of me if you wake up at 7:30 on Saturday morning!
