Training Update 10/28

Less than a week until the Ironman!! I can't believe it. This past week was great - less mileage and lots of rest. I swam twice, ran twice, and biked twice. The beginning of my week was a little heavier than I had expected, due to my knees hurting last weekend. However, starting Thursday I was able to get more rest. This weekend my mileage was much lighter than normal - 2 mile wetsuit swim, 40 mile bike, 7 mile run. I gave my bike over to Katie on Saturday so that she could meet my dad in Houston and hand it off to him. That was such a good feeling!! I completed my last long bike and long swim this weekend, and next week my mileage is very very light. I will run 30 minutes on Monday, swim Tuesday night, travel Wednesday, and then do a few short ocean swims in Panama City to get used to the water.

Here's my plan for Florida:
Arrive in Florida Wednesday night
Register and drop off bike on Thursday
Rest and get ready on Friday
Race on Saturday!!
Rest on Sunday
Monday and Tuesday resting in Destin
Heading back to Austin Tuesday night

I am really excited about the race! I feel ready and can't wait for it to just be here. Thanks to all of you for supporting me along the way. I couldn't have made it this far without all of your encouragement!
