3 Tips For The Week Before Ironman Louisville

We're just one week out from Ironman Louisville. At this point, you've trained all you can train, so what should you do during the week before the big race? Here are three tips for you to  remember leading up to race day.

1. Rest!

You've spent the last couple months pushing your body, running, swimming, and biking to get your body in Ironman shape. Use this week to rest your muscles and your mind. You don't want to over work yourself. So go to bed early, try not to interrupt your normal sleep pattern and rest assure that you've done all you can to prepare for race day.

2. Don't Try Anything New
Don't even think about getting new running shoes, trying out a new swimsuit, or switching to  a new type of seat for bike. The best thing you can do is exactly what you've been doing in the months and weeks leading up to the race. 

3. Visualize Yourself Racing   
This week spend about 15 minutes each night in a quiet place. Try to eliminate all distractions during this time. Close your eyes and imagine yourself in the race. Picture yourself swimming through the Ohio, removing your wetsuit, putting on your helmet, lacing up your running shoes. Visualize every detail of what you will be doing on race day so that at race time you already know what and how you will do it.  

"Swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, run 26.2 miles- BRAG FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE." 
-John Collins, IRONMAN Founder
