5 More Days

This isn't the first time we've done this race, but I still feel just as nervous. Maybe now more than ever because I know what to expect. The first year I just wanted to finish. The second year I wanted to finish faster. And this year, I want to crush it. What makes this year different? I've put in lots of training hours.

The Ironman California 70.3 is only five days away. The weather forecast calls for a high of 68 and a 10% chance of rain, but I'm not letting that worry me (that's a lie). Most people don't do their A race at the beginning of the season, but this is the race I'm training the most for this year.

If you're interested in spectating and cheering us on, contact me and I'll give you race info. Here's a summary: the race takes place in Oceanside, CA. Skyler will be starting at 7:08 and I'll be starting at 7:33. The spectator area is great for seeing everything. You'll be able to see the entire swim, the bike start, bike finish, run start, midway point for run, and race finish.

I seriously can't wait!

I can't even imagine the anticipation of something like that! I'm nervous just thinking about you doing it. :) I know you'll rock it and all of your hard work will pay off!

I'll be cheering you on. I wish we could be in Oceanside to cheer you, but sadly we've recently exhausted all of our travel budget. I know you're going to kill it though. Go fight win.
