Life of an Ironman

[Triathlete]

Well, the hard work is done. I am now sitting in the gracious home of VCamilo with 3 days till race day. Its nice to be fully rested and ready to go. Registration and a short swim on the swim course (Tempe town Lake) to get re-used to my wetsuit was all that was on the schedule for the day. I have been sitting around puting the finishing touches on all my race gear.
For those that want to folow the race, there will be live coverage at Ironmanlive.com . There is also an "athlete tracker" were you can get updates of particular racers...my race# is 1346. The weather looks like it should be hot and windy. Going to be a tough day for everyone...especially those that don't have the luxury of living in the warm desert.
All thats left now is a few very easy/short runs/swims or bikes and then the grand finally...2.4 mile swim/112mile bike/26.2 mile run!

...and if all goes well, a trip to Kona Hawaii in October!!!!!!

Best of luck. I am going to watch IronMan when it comes to Louisville in August. I feel bad for the competitors that have to swim that distance in the Ohio River. But the bike ride will be very scenic.

For a true experience you should volunteer! I have volunteered for and have many friends who volunteer and love the experience. If not try to be at the finish line from 11-12pm and watch the final finishers come in. The crowd and anouncers make them feel as good as the winners.
