Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 14 Days to go

Great day today. Ran and walked 4 miles this morning with my daughter. Then mowed for a bit, then 30 minutes elliptical at the gym, mowed some more, then 2000M in the pool. I was basically in motion the bulk of the day.

I realized a few weeks ago that this Ironman would not be a fast race for me. I'm ok with that and am not pushing for more than my best. I spend so much time comparing my speed to others and it's counter productive. I have no doubt that I am in shape to do the swim, bike, and run... I'll just need to finish when I finish.

I got some slick tires to go on my mountain bike that I'll be using for the Ironman Agusuta 70.3. They should help speed the cycling along. I put the tires on my rims this evening and I'll take them out for a spin in them morning.

I am very pleased with the muscle that I've gained during the training. I'm in the best shape I've been in, in years!

Two weeks until the race!
