Holy shit, where did April go? We are ready into the first week of May, and all that free time I thought I had until training started for Kona is gone!!! The beautiful days in the 80's are gone with it.
I am now down to like 22 weeks until the suffering on the lava fields, A.K.A Ironman World Championships (Hawaii)! We are now in the midst of our first solid run of 100+ days, and the winds are still crazy strong. So what better way to prepare for the Queen K?
I am still a little confused on how I am going to handle IMWI in Sept. or should I say how I will handle the run leg. I will go hard on the swim, and really work the bike, but the run is where i can really dothe most damage to myself just 4 weeks away from Kona. So as i see it my options are limited to:
1- Don't do the run at all.
2- Just do half of the run and drop out.
3- Take it very, very easy on the run and not care if it takes me 4 hrs +.
4- Just race the damn thing from start to finish and hope I can recover in 4 weeks for Kona.
There are pros and cons to each one of these choices, and I can't decide what is the best! Damn it!!!!
In the mean time, it is just a ton of training and suffering here in the desert and doing everything I can to make myself stronger everyday. I must remember that everyday is an opportunity to get myself faster and that each day counts as much as all the others.
Keep your fingers crossed for Mary and myself. It is a big fall for us. maybe bigger than anyone knows right now!! :)))) Stay tuned...

If I catch you on the run in IM-Moo then we can finish together. But that might be an uber long run for u.
I would be good with that, as long as you finish under 11hrs! I haven't been close to 11hrs and don't want to start now!!
So I guess it is all up to you!!
