i'm about two weeks out from Ironman Wisconsin. this is my first full IM and i have no expectations and have no idea what i'm capable of. my only real goals are to run the marathon w/out many walk breaks and to finish while it's still light outside. if i can accomplish those goals, i'll be a happy man. i'm not shooting for any certain time. but training has been going well. i know anything can happen out there and i'm not underestimating this race at all. this weekend will be my last big effort weekend. i'm doing a three day training block and then i have a ten day taper scheduled. TAPER MADNESS!!
this post will be short. mostly b/c i'm tired. today was 111 miles on the bike and then a 7 mile brick run. i felt strong throughout most of the day. had some low points on the bike but that's expected. i feel like i'm ready and everything's falling into place nicely. but like i said, anything can happen out there. i sign up for these things w/out any expectations. i just want to have a good time and have a long, relaxing day. so wish me luck. i'm really looking forward to this day. it'll be a huge celebration for me. a celebration of Life! cheers...
