Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 6 Days to go

Less than a week to go until the Ironman 70.3. This week is more about maintaining and being strong on raceday, rather than trying to get faster, build endurance, etc. I had a great run this morning and felt strong. This afternoon, I spent time on my writing and then watched a video tonight about the Ironman China from April of this year. It was an amazing race and I appreciated that they showed the athletes struggling, whereas Ironman Kona always shows Chrissie powering through to the finish with a smile on her face. It looks like a great event and certainly would entice me to do the full distance.

I'm really quite excited about raceday. I've been watching the weather for Augusta and right now it's calling for rain next Sunday. I've never even considered a rainy day Ironman 70.3! I'm thinking that will help keep me cool and hydrated :-)

I'm looking forward to the day finally getting here! I'll keep you posted.
