Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 53 Days to go

This morning's workout fell apart. I was going to cycle but the headlight on my bike went out in the first block. It was 5:20 am and I thought there was enough light from the street lights and I knew the sun would start coming up soon. 3 miles into the ride I got stopped by a median that I couldn't see, a car had to brake quickly and she yelled "get a light on that bike!"... at that point I rode back to the shelter of home. I should have made an adjustment in the beginning rather than risking an injury because I was too hard headed to change my workout plan. I'm just glad it all worked out fine.

I took my swim gear to work and headed over to the health club after work and did a 1.2 mile swim in 50 minutes. Not my fastest time but a solid effort. My goal is to do the event swim in 45 minutes and my dream would be to break 40 minutes. Both are possible, though the 45 minutes is a lot more probable. Here's my event goals...

1. Finish with a smile! This is the first and most important goal.
2. Finish in under 8 hrs. example: 45 minute swim, 5 minute T1, 4 hr bike, 5 minute t2, 3 hr run. (7:55 total).. I'd be thrilled to reach this goal!
3. Finish in under 7 hrs. Example: 40 minute swim, 3 min T1, 3.5 hr bike, 3 minute t2, 2.5 hr run (6:46 total)... I'd be amazed and psyched to reach this goal and dancing(after some recovery time)
