Game Week

Well as my dad would say it is game week. The triathlon is Sunday. I am going into this week feeling GREAT! This past weekend I rode about 30 miles on my bike and ran 2 miles on Saturday in what is called a "brick" workout. On Sunday morning Kim and I got up and ran 10 miles for our marathon training. Both workouts went great and my eating has been going really well since the 4th also. This week's workouts are nothing big, just getting out and keeping the blood flowing, if by this point the physical conditioning is not already there it's too late, but I know it is. My lungs and heart and legs have felt great this past week, the only that is left is to mentally prepare and make sure I get all my equipment where it needs to be and in working condition. I think I will take my bike in for a little tune up today.

My father-in-law who lives in Chattanooga called yesterday and said that there was a big write up in the paper about the triathlon. They said it is over sold with between 1200 and 1500 racers registered, they are not allowing anyone else in. They had a big map with all the street closures and are needing more volunteers to help with the race. Kim has emailed to volunteer to help with the swim start. It is a little early to be getting nervous, but I must say I enjoy the hype. Now if I can just not drown!
