3 months left...

Three months from today I will (hopefully) have finished the Ironman in St. George and will be wolfing down pizza + bacon cheeseburger while receiving a 4-hour massage. That sounds about right, doesn't it?

Am I ready? No.

I have been training consistently and finish my workouts well but it's hard for me to truly fathom doing the entire Ironman distance in one fell swoop. There are times when I wish the race was tomorrow so I could simply gut it out and get it done. Then reason kicks in (I know - this is a rare occasion) and I am suddenly grateful for a few extra months of preparation and

training.

This is me after 6 months of training. Ali told me that it's not a terrible sight if you can get past the screamin' UV rays from my pastiness. I certainly feel like I am in better overall shape (I better be after 6 months!) but I can't tell you how much I would just like to get skate instead of bike indoors on my trainer.

Nonetheless, I am still pretty stoked to be a part of this event. I am super glad to have friends suffering right there beside me (or a few miles in front me i am sure). It's going to be amazing and definitely don't regret signing up.
