I am not feeling nervous. I feel ready, but worried that I am not more nervous! (Hello, Type A anyone?).
I got my wheel situation fixed in the morning. Long story short, at some point yesterday when I was carrying my rental wheels around, the end of the skewer fell off. I did not lose the entire skewer, but I lost the end that holds the skewer in place. So I could not get my rear wheel on. I had to take it down to the IronmanWheels tent today and get it taken care of - those guys are pretty cool!
That being done, I got it set up for the race (installed a Sonic Nut on my Sonic Wing rear hydration system) and then took it out for a 30 min spin on the bike/run course. Felt pretty good but there was a major (think, 20 mph) wind going on and it was only 60 or so degrees out.
I look happy.. NOW! |
I have 1 hour and 15 minutes on Sunday to punish myself for skipping that swim in freezing cold water.
I went to the Athlete Dinner tonight and it was awesome, as per usual! I made friends with a girl in line, we sat together, and we are going to drive the course tomorrow! Seriously, THIS is why I love Ironman so much!
Tomorrow is the QT2 breakfast at 8 am, I rack my bike and drop off my transition bags, check out the bike course, and then I get off my FEET!
Come Sunday, I'll get to look at THIS for 12 hours!
correction-you get to rock the SHIZ outta that for 12 (or less) hours! This is YOUR RACE Alexa, I just know it!!! I will be tracking you tomorrow!! :-D (now hows that for creepy, lol)
