I'm happy with my race. Especially considering the fairly big workout I had 2 days before it. My swim wasn't fast, but it was solid. I had a much better bike than I thought I would.

I was at the shop today, chatting with Jack who won't sell anything if he thinks he can fix it, rig it, patch it or.. wait, I digress. So I was chatting with Jack when I realized that I have to turn my bike in to TriBike Transport next week. NEXT WEEK?

This journal started as a way for my friends and family to see what I was doing as I trained for my first Ironman. Hello? My user name is "traininglog". That ought to be a hint. Nearly 5 years and nearly 5 Ironman triathlons later, I'm still writing mostly about my training. I post the occasional-to-rare protected entry that is unrelated to ( Read more... ) -
