Only five more days until Timberman 70.3
I cannot believe that it is "here" already. I can honestly say that I have enjoyed every single week of training that has passed since I decided that I was going to do a half this season.
This weekend I completed my last big brick (43 mile bike/4 mile run) before the big show-I felt great. Fantastic. Happy. Ready as I'm gonna be!!
-and I actually got a bit emotional. I thought about the last couple of years and how much my life has changed-how much I have changed as a person, both inside and out. The last couple of months have come with some ups and downs; and I would not change a thing. I thought about how this is the start of yet another journey for me and new goals-both short and long term-are being thought out and planned!
This is the extended weather forecast for Sunday, August 21st.
Looks like high 70's for race day with a slight chance of showers.
Dear God-
for once please let those meteorologists be correct.
I have finally decided on what I am wearing race day.
I know you all have been on the edge of your seat about that one huh?
I will be wearing the new Tough Chik tri top. I have been training in this for the last couple of weeks and I really like it. Look for a full review on this top coming soon!!
I made some fun arm warmers too-tiger stripes-for the bike! I was really hoping to find some in purple and/or hot pink but these will have to do. I like 'em
I will be running in my BRIGHT GREEN Saucony Fastwitch 4's paired with my CW-X compression socks.
I wish I had time to track down a really snazzy pair of compression calf sleeves--something a little more exciting than WHITE--I guess I could always use a Sharpie to make some tiger stripes on 'em huh??
All I know is that I am excited and ready.
Ready to finish with a smile on my face.
And if I'm really lucky--
I'll get my medal from my idol!!
