It's crazy that September is already here! Only 36 days until the Ironman World Championships, and I have to admit that I'm feeling better than I usually feel this close to an Ironman race. I know I have put in a lot of work so far, just a few more long rides, long runs and a lot of swimming.
The nice thing is that I don't feel any pressure on where I place in this race. I truly feel like it's a race against myself. I know what I'm capable of, and I can do my own thing on the race course. I don't have to respond to other peoples surges, or try to catch x number of people. I get to go out there and do something I love to do. It's kind of sick isn't it? I mean who pays money to go and exercise for 9+ hours?
I can tell that it's getting closer to race day as my belt has to be tightened a little bit more, I'll try to limit myself to one bowl of ice cream...every other day. The heat acclimatization will start here next week...not looking forward to that. I rode the computrainer today without the fan on, wow, that was brutally hot. I guess I need to get used to it though.
Train Smart, Race Hard, No Regrets!!
