1 week away

Well 1 week out from 140.6 of fun! This has been a great year of racing and early morning training. I am looking forward to the whole experience considering it all goes really, really, really well.

I hoping for awesome weather in the forecast, I cant wait to glide through the water faster then ever.
Pedaling my bike all 112 miles like a stage in the tour! And then run a blazing fast marathon with fresh legs and cruise into the finish line saying, "Wow, that wasn't that bad!"

What a race it will be, I seriously can't wait. I would have bought a book at Barnes & Noble and trained about 75% for this race. So I took a much different approach and have a coach who has helped me the whole way.

I have pedaled a few thousand miles, swam about a zillion miles more then ever and ran like a cheetah to prepare for this race.  I have made a new friend that I can train with locally, who has enormous potential. At the age of 31 I actually learned how to swim and can't wait to improve more in the leg of the race.

It has been a huge learning process and a test of strength and endurance that I have been long awaiting this challenge. In a week this race should be behind me and I cant wait to experience the whole event.
