Two weeks from today, I'll be suffering (hopefuly by this time on the run) in New Orleans... I guess I'm nervous (yeah, I am), but I'm more ready for it to get here so I can stop worrying about it... I feel like I'm as ready as I can be... My swim is there, my bike is there, my run is there... putting them all together in one day however, will be the challenge...
I'm excited for the race... not gonna lie... I'm amazed that just a few years ago, I was almost making peace with the fact that I wasn't going to be around much longer because of my health... and now, I'm doing things that I once thought not only impossible, but absolutely FUCKING CRAZY for people to do... I always think back to like, two years ago, when I was just getting into the sport, and I was at home in LA before starting school... I saw my buddy John Fell, who is Mr. Super Ironman guy, after I had swam and he made the comment about "having to go run for an hour"... at the time, I thought it crazy of someone to go run for an hour.... now, I can't seem to get warmed up and settle in until I run for an hour...
Speaking of, I've got to get my long run in today at some point... sleeping in felt too good this morning... I've got to hold it together for the next two weeks and not do anything dumb like skip workouts (even though my fitness level won't really improve much between now and the race-- typically takes two weeks for fitness to increase... so maybe I've got 2 weeks for one last push?)... I'm really looking forward to taper week...
Not much to report lately other than training and school...
Stay tuned...
Thanks for reading...
