The only question that has been asked more lately than "how is your ticker?" is "are you ready?"
Honestly, I have no idea. Honestly, I feel rather unprepared, but I think that may just be because the training did not seem too significant this time around, as I blogged about earlier. On paper, I have trained, and trained well.
For comparison, over the 22 week period leading up to CDA as compared to AZ, I have swam 36% more, biked 37% more, and ran exactly the same (that period leading up to IMAZ included Sunmart 50k and the Houston Marathon...both average miles per week busters!). That is quite a difference, and hopefully that difference will speak for itself come Sunday, but we shall see.
The forecast is getting colder and colder - exactly the opposite position we were in last year for IMAZ when the high temps just kept moving up and up and up. I think cold, or cool, will be a good thing, but I just hope it isn't too cold or wet. It will still be better than 97 degrees with 30 mph winds, so I guess I should not be complaining at all.
I just really have no idea what to expect with the hills. So far I am thinking they could possibly slowly suck the life out of me over 112 miles of biking. If they do not, I'll be good to go. I just really don't know what is going to happen. I know what I want to happen, but I also know my #1 goal is to have fun.
