4 weeks away

So I am officially 31 days out from the race.  The closer it gets the more nervous I become.  Last week was a heavy training week and this week if feels like I am not doing anything.  I seem to be getting more and more worried about the swim.  I really need to see the distance in person.  So hopefully I will get that out of the way when I go to the tri in Negaunee next weekend.  I had another brick workout Sunday, only a 30 min ride and 10 min run.  My heart rate didn't seem as high as the previous Sunday. 
Having trouble with my left hamstring but I think its my hip being out of place.  So another trip is due to the chiro soon.  I have been swimming in Chassell Bay but it is gross.  There is so much seaweed it makes me nauseous and it interrupts my swimming.  These last 7 weeks have gone by so fast.  I feel like I just started this journey.  I have accomplished many things over the last 7 weeks.  Learning to swim with my head in the water, running for 50 minutes straight without stopping.  Fears have been overcome.  There is one fear left and that is taking a swim out into the water where there is no chance of touching the bottom.  So Tammy and Taylor will take the kayaks out with me in a couple of weeks and I will swim until I can't swim anymore.  Transitions are coming up soon to practice.  I can't wait to cross the finish line and actually be able to say I did it.  To be able to push your body and have it cooperate.
