BIG Weekend Planned


This weekend is going to be exciting and a lot of hard work! There is a group of us from my training group going to join a LARGER group of Ironman Wisconsin participants for a "All U Ever Needed to Know about IMMOO". Their logo is actually posted above, but that is the gist of it. We arrive tomorrow midday and get situated. Then Saturday we swim and bike two loops of the course (80 miles) with 80 participants. On Sunday, we run one loop of the course and then do a run analysis. My precious has been cleaned and fitted with new tires. She is ready to go! I've done all the last minute fueling purchases and additional food items for the weekend. AND.. the last thing to do is figure out how to battle the heat while I'm out there making BIG things happen. I bought sponges today.....I'm trying to decide if I want them wet or dry, refrigerated or frozen, and where to put them. I'm not at all used to the humidity here. I ran yesterday and my heart rate hit 191. WOW! I will have to get acclimated pretty soon. It helps (I guess) that the air conditioning in my apartment is running constantly but not cooling anything!! They are sending a repair guy tomorrow. In the meantime, when we get to the hotel tomorrow...I'm going to make the room feel like Antarctica! I'm off to Madison and only 80 days now from the BIG DANCE! As they say.... It's now or never baby!
