18 days to go

ok this shit is really getting real! hah. I am now refusing to look at the IMAZ Facebook page as they are making me paranoid about flat tires and crashes and not making the time cut offs!
I got this..and i refuse to let anyone take it away from me! i have worked my ass off all year and i will not let anything get in my way! DON"T STOP BELIEVING!!
Estella and I rode our 2 hours last night, it was actually a pretty nice night for Nov 1st..it got cold and dark quickly though.
One more really long ride this weekend, which I will do part of on my own and part of with Wayne and Emily and Eunice. Eunice leaves soon for her Ironman in Los Cabos and she is going to rock it!
The Florida folks race this weekend. I am just ready to get to AZ and do this!!!
let's do this!
We got up and swam this morning at common ground, it was a good 2600.
tomorrow is masters and then the long weekend begins. 13 mile run sat and 80 mile bike sunday!
again...Let's do this!!

Big week!

Wow! this has been a big week of a lot of long workouts!Monday was the eclipse, but I still got up for masters! Craig had a puzzle for us to solve on the workout...which ended up being Eclipse on the dark side of the moon. lol.  On Wednesday I swam the longest I have ever swam open water. 3500 or 2.17 miles! That is almost the full distance we have to go in Ironman and I'm super stoked to say I didn't stop and I felt like I could keep going. Getting stronger and stronger in my swim. Craig (at masters  common ground) told me my stroke is looking good! Which also makes me super happy!! I am feeling more and more that I am getting ready for this craziness!! This week also included an 8 mile run, which we did in the afternoon on Thursday...it was a bit brutal because it was hot and my legs were hurting from the ride the day before, but we made it through!! I thought 8 wouldn't seem like so far, but after last weekend's long ride and run it was a bit tough. On friday I s...

DAY OFF

It is a much needed day off today! Yesterday was master's swim and the eclipse adventure and with another big weekend of work outs coming...its definitely time for a night off to hang out with Donny and the boys. I am feeling better and better about  my swim. Craig (the masters coach) told me yesterday my freestyle stroke is looking good! That was a huge boost! Now if i could just get the bike down. I am still getting used to the new bike...i've only had it for a while, so I need to give myself a break. We are coming up on our half ironman in just a couple of weeks though, and I know its crazy hilly, so hopefully i will be ready! I was reading the IMAZ tri email talking about where we should be 3 months til race time and it was saying we should already have a few 80 milers under our belts and feel comfortable. that is pretty worrisome! The farthest we have gone is 75 miles and we've only done it once!! EEKS! The other thing that bothered me was it said we should be do...
