Ironman is next weekend! NEXT WEEKEND!!
To my surprise I am feeling excited! A little bit nervous, but mostly really excited! A friend compared it to waiting for childbirth...exciting even though you know it is going to hurt. I don't have that same basis for comparison but I do at least know that once finished, Ironman won't need bathing, breastfeeding, or having it's nappy changed. Well, hopefully not. If it does, I totally didn't know what I was signing up for.
My training is starting to taper which is a relief, I was getting pretty tired there for a while. I am reviving quite quickly though, so I think I will be fair fizzing by next weekend. I am being a total princess when it comes to any injury or illness risk - I am spending most of my disposable income on different vitamin variants, and am rude to the point of obnoxious to anyone who comes near me with a hint of a disease (except manflu, we all know that isn't a real sickness).
I got my bike safety check done today, now it and my helmet are adorned with fluoro Ironman stickers, so they are committed to the event even if I am not. But I am. Don't worry, I'll be there.
I am swimming across the lake this weekend. It will be my pentultimate event in my IM build up. Hopefully the taniwha will be gentle.
Until next time, general fatigue is no excuse for forgetting your underwear...and not caring.
love
