| History |
| I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future. |

Yes, I'll admit it. I am freaking out........
I know I have been training now for 18 weeks, I've put in the time and effort. Physically I am ready for my 1/2 Ironman. Mentally I am mush......
I am looking so forward to leaving for New Hampshire though. Seeing my family again means more than the race itself.
Sunday's long ride was great except for the 2 flats. The roadway has become hazardous since the recent rains and then the mowing along the highway. Seems like there is more debris on the road. I felt great for the whole 3 hours and the pace stayed around 21.3 mph. I did a 3 mile run afterwards, that felt OK except for the heat of the day. I did start to cramp at the end of the run - I need to increase my nutrition at the end of the bike and take in a few gels on the run. I think that will solve the problem.
My swim on Monday was un-eventful. Tonight I am going out with the team to Pueblo Reservior for open water swimming. I am looking forward to that. The water should be real good.
Yesterday I shipped my bike - "Apollo" to New Hampshire. FedEx will get it there by Saturday. Shipping was easier than I thought it would be. I kinda felt like a Dad with his kid leaving for the first time......weird......
I hope to blog up until the race - I will try at least. I will be keeping a journal of my trip and adventures. For now though - back to work..... |
