Pre-race Thoughts

Yes, I am flying to Vegas tomorrow to do my first half-marathon in over six months, and the last one was at the end of a triathlon (Gulf Coast).  As usual for me, I have the pre race doubts that have slowly been creeping in over the last week or so.  Like every other race I've done, I feel like I'm going in undertrained.  Sure, I'm ACTUALLY training for a full marathon in six weeks, and this race is just something I've thrown into my schedule, but I still want to kick tail at this one, ya know? 

And I've followed my training schedule like a good boy, so I should be fine, but I can't help but feel like I should have done more.  I've definitely logged more miles leading up to this race than any other, even my previous marathon.  But were they good miles?  Could I have done my intervals a bit faster?  A bit longer?  Maybe more of them?  Sheesh! 

I don't ever remember feeling like this before a basketball game.  Going into every game I always felt extremely confident in my ability, and knew that I would be the best player on the floor.  And I fully expected to win every single game.  I wonder if I'm ever gonna feel like that with triathlon or running...not like I'm the best(I KNOW thats not realistic), just confident.  

But like little j says, with a post race show by Bret Michaels, who cares about the race itself?  :)
