4 days until I become an Ironman

Today brought Brenda pretending to be a triathlete (or biathlete). She went on a 30 min run with me and a 15 mile bike with me. She enjoyed it throughly!!! I am ready. I am excited! I am looking forward to the challenge of the day!

7 days until I am an Ironman

I am so excited. The weather looks ok - maybe a little warmer than I would have liked but it will be ok. I am still a little sick - which is annoying the hell out of me. We have people coming to visit starting today and then we will have company all the way through to Tuesday morning. I am excited to be involved in all of the prerace stuff this year and not feel like a poser as I usually do when I go up and ride, run, or swim during Ironman time of the year. I actually belong there with all of the other people. What a great feeling.

I got our bib numbers today - I am #2001 and Joe is #256.

Those sound like fantastic numbers!
