Monday down..bike is packed, hotel booked, rental car rented, grandma watching children…I guess this means I am really doing this, no backing out now..I got two good workouts in over the weekend and am feeling positive about this. The taper is interesting to say the least..going into my taper I was feeling like a hero..nobody could stop me, I was ready..5 days later I was tired and extremely grouchy..now some may say I am always a little grouchy, but this was more than that. I guess when you shut it down, your body starts doing a little deep healing and that takes a lot out of you. This weekend was the first time I noticed the strength coming back..that was a huge confidence boost. I am nervous, but in a good way..more a constant anticipation of race day. I just want to get it done..this has been a long 6 months. Thanks to my family, they have had to put up with my training and the mood swings that come along with preparing for an Ironman. Also, I have been getting a lot of “go get em” emails..I really appreciate them..THANKS!!

    You are going to be great. You have put in the time and commitment and that is a victory too (especially for a working dad of three and 2 hounds!). Now go out there and stay focussed and positive and kick butt!
