Time to get race ready

Four days until race morning. I guess if I'm not ready by now, I won't be. So let's assume I am. Today's workout wasn't so much about getting faster (although for me, any work should be getting me faster), as about practicing pace. The sets involved a portion at long race pace, which I took as "pretty much warm-up" speed. I'm going to work really hard at reining myself in on Sunday. I'd like to put together a decent bike (less hate fuel), and really put on a good run, and all that will depend on me having a better, more comfortable swim. Put all this together, and hope for a better than average result.

Swim: w/u - 200yds each free, non-free, pull
2x(300 free, 30", Muskoka race pace
500 pull, as 100 ez/100 hard/100 ez/100 hard/100 ez
200 as 25 head-up/25 ez free
200 non-free) (only got 50 second time through, ran out of time)
Total: 2850yds

Run: 8 miles @ 7.2 mph + 4 strides

Good luck with the race!

I'll be somewhere in the air between Frankfurt and Athens, sitting on my ass, while you're out there working hard. I shall think of your suffering though.

Hopefully I'll have internet access at some point during the week because this is a RR that I do not want to miss.
