Thanks for the thoughts guys. I am just going to stick with my original plan and ride it Saturday.

I went and rode the entire course on Saturday afternoon. It has a few hills that are definitely not a walk in the park! I especially loved the turn off of N. 750 and on to N. 661 D with the pretty severe downhill and having to make that left hand turn. It was a pretty fun ride, though stressful as I had not ever driven or road the course, and had only looked at it on Google Earth. I feel like I am in a lot better shape now. I will have to say that the South wind didn't affect it as much as I had anticipated, but with that being said, I hope its calm on race day!

It’s a challenge to push yourself a little harder and a little further. Be proud of every workout that is accomplished and every step-even the baby ones-that you take on this course to the finishline.

Experts agree, doing a “mock,” triathlon on the course you’re racing can aid you in your training; performance and most of all quell some nervous energy.
