Eat lots and lots of fruits and drink lots and lots of water. Today is all about getting mentally ready (along with eating the right foods). Aside from the mental aspect, today will be a very long stretch, concentration on increasing flexibility. That means the stretch should hurt a little (30 second on and 20 off). Follow up with plenty of water after the stretch to absorb lactic and other acid build up.
Tomorrow will be my first olympic distance triathlon. This is yet another set on the road to knock out a half ironman and eventually a full ironman.
