Getting close...

What's this? A Blog entry? Yeah, I know.... save the snark, life has been pretty crazy the last few months and blogging about my training has been WAY down my priorities list.

I've got less than two weeks to go until my ironman and found myself with a spare moment so here I am.
Training has been going very well. I feel ready, though I seem to rotate between being excited, nervous and just eager for it to be over. Training has become a very time consuming thing lately, I'm hungry ALL the time and I'm sleeping a lot more. I've also lost 5 to 10 pounds in the last several months putting me below 150 for the first time in several years and I've lost several percentage points in body fat percentage to just below 13%.
I did the 5430 Long Course for the third time on August 9th, I'll have a race report for that soon (I promise) since it's the first race I've actually done more than twice. It's also probably the last time I'll do it (I'll explain why when I do the post).
