Team W is Expanding!

I think Mike and Katie are both going to come watch IMFL now. I am very excited. It will be great to have their support, and it will also be great to give them a mini beach vacation in the process.

Adding them to the team of Mom, Dad, Jon, Mrs. Clark, and Dr. Doug and Linda just means the sea of pink will be bigger than ever!

Now, I just need some sleep and emotional and physical focus to bang out these last 2.5 weeks of major training before I taper. In these next 2.5 weeks I will need to swim 15,000-20,000 yds, bike close to 350 miles, and run somewhere around 75 miles. That is a lot...but my "Ironman audience" has increased exponentially since Kristi's death, and I do not want to let anyone down. Yikes! that is a scary thought. I just need to figure out a way to take off work entirely between now and November 7 because it is really getting in the way of training and sleeping!

There is no way you will ever let your fans, supporters, friends and family down! The fact that you are doing it is an inspiration to so many. But, I know how you feel. I'm always concerned about letting others down if I have a bad race. Its just plain silly! You have trained hard, you've been here before and you are motivated more than ever. And, I don't know squat about bikes, but I love love love the pink!!

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...
