    Ironman weekend

    After a ton of training my big race of the season is now only 3 days away. I have pretty much spent 2 years of training with this race as the focus. I am loading my VX with all my gear and hitting the road to Tempe, Az. for Ironman Arizona. As a bonus I get to spend a few days with Victor (VCamilo...thanks again for the hospitality).
    Anyone interested in tracking my progress can do so at Ironman Live...my race number is 1610.
    My goal is a 9:50 and a magical slot for the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii!

    That's fantastic....drive carefully and do well. I will follow your progress. Lotsa positive vibes and prayers headed your way. Oh and have fun too.
    So I said to myself, I said "Handee"

    Good luck from me & Cece! Hope you do well and get to advance to Hawaii. Most of all have fun! Don't party with Victor until after the race! I have never done a Triathalon, but I am sure it's harder when you are hung over...

    They just had the Triathelon again this year in Clearwater, Florida.
    Must have been a thousand of participants.
    The weather was sunny and in the 80's
    Good luck.

    I am sitting on Victors couch (stealing his internet server) after just getting back from the athlete carbo dinner. It was whipped up by chef Rocko and will be on his show some time in January Tomorrow the bike and gear get corraled into the transition area then its a full day of feet up resting! Sunday starts out EARLY! 4 o'clock alarm, breakfast and then off to the transition area to check the air in the tires. After that just relax and get into my wetsuit. Then they will heard everyone down to the swim start for the 7 o'clock start. When the cannon goes off its full contact swimming at its finest with 2500 of my newest friends!

    Thanks everyone for the good vibes!
