Where has all the time gone?! I'm down to 2 1/2 weeks... might add I'm getting a little nervous. Actually, it might be nervous excitement. I can't even describe what a painful day it's going to be, but I am confident that I can make it through it so I'm going to try to make it as fun as possible!
Still having digestion issues which will hopefully get fixed on the 31st. I think at this point I am most nervous about this situation. Again, I'll just have to see how it goes and hope for the best.
One sprint left. Did one last weekend and did pretty well considering it was about 37 degrees when we entered the water. Gotta love Wisconsin weather! This weekend the swim is in Lake Michigan and again it is not supposed to be extremely warm so that could be interesting. I was hoping to not have to use the wetsuit since it is so hard (and slow) to get off... that lake is pretty cold though! Last year I took 3rd in my age group in this one, missing second by a half a second. I'm pretty sure I can do better than that this year so I think I'm actually going to go after it. Then again, word might have gotten out about this one, drawing a larger crowd. Hopefully not, it could be a good boost for the self esteem. It's actually going to be the first one my parents see as well. Kinda sad considering it's my second season, but oh well. At least they're going to make the effort. They keep complaining that I talk about the Ironman so much and that they will disown me if I do it again next year. I just don't think they have a clue.
Well, I guess that's it for now. Hope everyone is doing well and the season is motivating. Until the next time (although I make no promise as to when that will be) :)
