3 Days until Game Time!!

Wow!! Did this come up fast. I remember back in February when I started training for this thing how far away it seemed and I kept telling myself "I've still got 4 more months to train for this, I'll be fine". So after one of the worst winters and after one of the rainiest springs (that still hasn't ended - I don't care what the calendar says), I think I'm ready for my first 1/2 ironman. Training has definitely been grueling, frustrating, mentally and physically exhausting, fun, exciting, and rewarding all at the same time.

This morning I joined my training partner for an open water swim at Stiles Pond in Boxford for the last swim tune up before the race. I'm planning to do a short 15 minute swim in the ocean at the course in Rhode Island on Saturday.

Took the bike out at lunch today for about 12 miles to make sure everything is dialed in. She feels pretty good.

Still can't believe it's almost here.

More to report post race.
