Ready To Be An Ironman!

Thursday morning I will head out for Grand Coulee Washington for the Grand Columbian Full Ironman race! So far this year I've swum 191,000 meters (118.7 miles), Ridden 2559.3 miles, and run 439.2 miles. But that's just raw numbers- I could tell you by seeing a location who I rode with past that point and sometimes I can actually remember what we were talking about at some locations. The people I've trained with this year, the memories, the changes- it's all part of becoming an ironman. Now to go out and do it and do the best I can and leave it all out there. Emotions are running high, patience is running low. Gigi (my bike) has new tires and a lubed chain and tune-up, I think she's ready and itching to show her stuff- I hope we're still friends after 112 miles.
Saturday night after I finish the people doing the half said they'll have drinks waiting for me at the finish and we'll have a finish party. Hopefully I'll be coherent and able to party!
I think we're staying an extra day and coming back Monday. As soon as I get back I'll let you guys know how I did.
