Dawning of Timberman, Ironman 70.3

Taking my Specialized for a spin and doing some light hill work will basically cap off my training preparation, with exception of maybe a short run in NH heading into this summer's main event, : Timberman, Ironman 70.3. I believe I'm ready, which is important because I'm as ready as I'm going to get, given there is really no more time left. The starting gun will go off on Sunday morning ready or not.
I've done many 1.2 mile swims and I'm prepared to cover the distance, but conditions and circumstances may impact my level of proficiency.
My time trialing on my bike has gone well this season and I have some solid long rides in the books, so it will be interesting to see how my ride comes together.
Running has actually been going pretty well this summer. I have had a few issues come up as of late, but I've been addressing them and I hope they remain minor and a non-issue.
We leave tomorrow fairly early. We'll be stopping in Syracuse, NY on the way out to provide some relief for weary travelers before heading to NH Thursday morning.
Friday evening I'll be meeting a group of people I've been interacting with via a forum for Timberman for many months now. I'm really excited about this opportunity.
Saturday the kids will have a chance to run a 1k kid's race and receive their finisher medals from the 3x Ironman World Champion, Chrissie Wellington.
Sunday, earlier than the ...crack of dawn I'll be heading to hurry up and wait for my wave to start.
Excitement is brewing, but calm and a cooler head shall prevail...well at least for the event. The travel with anxious children will be a bigger challenge.
TIMBERMAN, IRONMAN 70.3 IS CLEARLY ON THE HORIZON.

If you so choose, you can track me at Ironman.com on race day.

On another note, I mentioned in my last post that I was working on changing my entry for the Tawas 1/2 iron distance race to the Olympic distance race in September. I've changed my mind and I am hoping to not be too worse for wear so I can take on the 1/2 iron distance. It may be a race day decision, but right now I'm leaning back toward covering 70.3 miles.

Peace.
