A Taste of My Own Medicine

Gees. I guess I know what it feels like now to be pressured into something you had absolutely no intention of doing. I may be doing a half ironman in the California Wine Country on August 2 now. Do I have any business doing this? No. Am I going to be talked into it?


Maybe.



Probably.



At least it is sweet medicine.

Hiya! Can't speak about the race, but after IMAZ '08, went to my brother-in-law's wedding @ Bohemian Grove and did an 11 mile run near Guerneville. Very nice place but was suprised there was actually enough water to do the swim in the river!

Vineman is a beautiful race but they LIE on the race course description. "Gentle rolling hills and a predominantly flat run" ......my ass!

Do some rides out at Chappell Hill and Belville/Cat Springs as well as Montgomery to prepare for the bike. Also, you need to get some hills in on your run training if you decide to do this one.

Temps start out in the high 50's to low 60's but warm up to the upper 80's.

Feel free to pick my brain on this race if you need to. They do transition a little differently than other races.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
