I need to stop reading about the IM bike course

[joenali]

It's freaking me out! I read a whole Facebook thread about cassettes and hills, and false flats and how hard it is.I've heard about the 10-11% grade hill climb.

I guess the good thing is I ride with a compact 11/28, which was suggested in one of those threads, I've also been riding hills with an 18-21% grade. It's going to be a long ride for sure, but I think that is how it's going to be for the majority of us on race day!!

Gahhhhhhh!!!!

YOU'RE READY!!!!! It will be so beautiful, your legs will be tapered and you won't feel those climbs like you do in training. It will be a tough day - it should be, it's Ironman!!!! BUT, you're ready!

No good can come from this. Step away from your computer. You are trained. You are ready. Stop reading shit.

It is going to be so pretty though! Focus on the views, not the pain
You're so ready.

You're going to be amazing out there. Stay off the internet, it can only do harm at this point.
