10 Days....

Ten Days till the Redman 70.3 in OKC. Training has gone really well these last few weeks, so I am excited about the race.

Current weather forcast is high of 83 and partly cloudy with 0% rain. That would be wonderful weather, lets hope the wind is at a minimum that day as I have heard you are not very protected from the wind on the course.

I hate to taper, as I feel lazy, but it is necessary to rest. Saturday will be a 40m / 5 mile brick and Sunday will be an EASY 10 miles. Will go for an easy run in Chicago on Tuesday before my meetings, swim 1500 on Wednesday and go for an easy 5m run on Thursday. Reset on Friday.

Enough to keep the blood flowing and to stay active, while allowing my legs to rest up for a busy day on Saturday.

Goal is to break 5:30...

Swim - 35 Min
Bike - 2:45
Run - 1:45

That leaves me 25 minutes leaway for tranisition and extra time during the race. I think it is very realistic.

IM Wisconsin

I can't believe it has been a year since IMMOO 06. What a loooooong day that was, but well worth it.

Congrats to all of the KC Multisport finishers of Ironman Wisconsin yesterday. They had great weather and there were some great times. I beleive that everyone finished as well. Great Job!

Hopefully the handful of us who are racing at RedMan in a few weeks and then at IM FLA in 52 days will have the good fortune of nice weather as well.

Watching everyone online yesterday really motivated me to work hard for the next 52 days in order to get myself ready for my big race.

My original goal was 12 hours...then after a rough day at Pigman I thought about lowering my goal to 13 hours. I am going to stick with my original goal - it will be tough, but I think I can do it!

Ironman Louisville 08

I just entered IM Louisville 08. Shockingly it took less than 5 minutes to register, I must have beat the rush.
