countdown to worlds qualifier: 4 days
- where are you going? - D grumped when my watch chimed at 4:10 this morning.
- swimming.
his arm tightened like a boa.
- i thought you were laying off that until your race.
- no, that's *whiskey*. two different things.
- mmm. they're both vices.
'tis true, though -- the hooch is on the shelf 'til sun nite.** last night i knocked out one final hard ride, and between now and sunday's race it's ez street. what is ez street? i'm a grizzled veteran and i still don't know. so i approached the bench.
- I think you should do what you usually do the 3 days leading up to a race (I've changed your routine enough already, I don't want to mess too much with your lead-up to a race). Everything should be easy through race day. What do you usually do in the 3 days before races?
honesty is the best policy with The Oracle.
- what i usually do 3 days before a race is stop drinking whiskey and pray a lot, to a whole host of deities.
- That's a start. Also try doing some (4 to 6) 20 to 30 second pick-ups during your run(s) and 1 min pick ups on your ride(s).
then he gave me a bunch of hot tips for improving my transitions but i won't go into that because you'd be bored senseless and then i'd have to kill you.
- And Finn?
- yessir.
- Get to the race at least half an hour earlier than usual.
PAH. that's just crazy talk.
**wine ≠ hooch.

Wine, DEFINITELY not hooch, it's a fruity grape-milk. That's right, I buy grape-milk.
remember last time when we started this conversation and concluded by the end that nothing counted as hooch except for maybe pure grain alcohol and with a strawberry even that didn't qualify??
that was awesome.
i hate having too much work when i have Other things to do.
That was logically sound thinking.
I concur with the work thing. I'm still hoping the light isn't a train.
