getting ready for San Fran, i'm pretty distracted by my wife's contractions and my own personal need to be there for her, so the prep hasn't been ideal but i have to say i've never been so relaxed about the race. i'm usually a nervous wreak by this point, a little tired from so many hard workouts on steep hills, and otherwise keyed up to do a good race and feeling pressure to perform in front of a home crowd. i'm still feeling pressure, but i just have not had the energy to focus on the event as in years past; it feels like the race has snuck up on me and so i just need to go out there and get the job done.
