I'm spending tonight in Jackson, Mississippi, ahead of the Gator Bait Race on Barnett Reservoir tomorrow morning. I've just been to the race check-in place where I filled up on some sponsored food. I expect there will be some good competition tomorrow so I'm hoping for a good night's sleep.
I've had a rather stressful week at home and I'm glad to be away from that for a few hours. I'm having some major renovation work done on a rental property I own and I've been dealing with some important decisions and some sizable bills. I've always been prone to anxiety and I will be glad when this is all behind me. It'll probably last another month or so.
I've been down to the river four times this week. Each time I did the stuff I typically do to get race ready: some relaxed stretching and visualization; a good long warmup; and some short sprints at maximum intensity with full recovery in between. By the end of each session I felt as upbeat and relaxed as I've felt this whole week. Exercise supposedly releases endorphins, and I think that was working for me.
