Access

So I just checked into my hotel and have access to the internet.  We got here on Tuesday and time seems to be flying by.  I can't believe it's Thursday already.  My legs felt great on Tuesday's run but like crap today.  It was because of too much walking yesterday from the hotel.  I'm cutting all that out until race day.

Joe, Amber and Elena arrive tomorrow afternoon with a rental car so that will help.

The swims in the morning have been interesting as I've suffered from going in a crooked line.  On top of that I apply crap loads of bodyglide to my neck and the suit still irritates it.  I'm gonna have a big wetsuit abrasion after I come out of the water on race day.  I also might end up falling over when I finish the swim because each time after only 30 minutes I've been majorly disorientated standing up to exit.

I got a flat on my training ride with the race wheels on Wednesday.  I'm hoping that gets it out of the way and I don't flat on race day.  I got to use my CO2 for the first time and it went pretty well.  I also had to move the valve extender to my spare tube as well.  It was just a simple thumbtack on my front wheel.

Tomorrow is a complete day off with registation and the athlete dinner/meeting for activities.  I'll try to give an update.

3 days...

  1. Dude, I don't care how you finish this ironman, your swim of 1:08 is about the most impressive thing I have ever seen. knowing that you could barily swim 100 yards a year ago, that is frickin impressive man. Nice work.
