It was amazing to watch the Ironman World Championship in Kona this past weekend! I was lucky enough to be invited to Shari's to watch it on the big screen TV instead of my computer monitor! The level of athleticism is mind boggling. Looking forward to seeing the edited version in November with the athletes backgrounds and stories. I did feel for Gordon Ramsey. One of the celebrity chief that was competing. Had a DNF due to sickness on the bike portion. It really sucks to get that far and not finish......one of my worst fears in this whole journey.
Training the past few days has been hard. Sunday I had a great 9 mile run on the Freeport Trail with Shari and Kevin. After that I was totally useless. Got nothing done around the house that I wanted to. Dining room is still a mess along with the basement. I guess it will wait. When are those little Ironman fairies going to come and help with the housework?? I thought they appeared after you paid you registration money to IM. Mine must be running late! Monday's swim and core/arms workout and todays hill workout felt like some sort of torture. Took longer than expected and felt every muscle in my body. Hope I'm not getting sick. No time for that! Suck it up buttercup and move on! Tomorrow is a new day and hope some sort of energy force finds me and gives me kick in the ass! Won't get any faster or stronger if I don't give 100%. Can't skip any workouts until I go to New Orleans! That is my deal with myself........Work hard then play hard!
PS....I will try harder to eat healthier tomorrow.
