Not even sure where I have been the last couple months. Training and working on my BS has made time fly by. We are now about 24 days out from the Beach to Battleship 140.6. I am so ready to get the race going. I have been through ups and downs during this training. Times I felt physically good but mentally wore the hell out. Last Sunday was the last 100 ride and 6.5 run brick. Day was rough, started in a fog back ended a normal hot and humid S FL day. Bike was good, kept it under control and didnt ride RP. Run was tough and was falling apart, I was behind on water and payed for it. Lesson learned again!! Wont happen on race day, never does. I stay in my bubble and always check water and food intake. Trying to get the last stuff ready to go, just little odds and ends we need before heading to NC. This Sunday is bout gonna be it for training, last 18 mile run and then just some mid length workouts. Got the final instructions in a email yesterday. The race sound confusing but think once we get there it will all work. T1 & T2 are in different places and the swim is a point to point. Little odd but I am sure they have things set up pretty good. Long as we get the right bags packed with all the stuff we need and get them sent to the right spot things should work well. Also got into the HITS 140.6 here in Naples again for January 12th. Looking forward to the home town race again. Need to stay on top of things and check and double check things as always.
Did make it to the Siesta Beach OLY a few weeks ago. Had a good race, finished in a 2:23:15. Had a 1st place AG and a top 10 OA. Swim was a bit long but had a good time. Bike was fast and the run was tough. It was on the beach and had 4 trips through the deep sand. Mark and Nadine had good days along with Nat and Laura. It was a good trip and the last race before B2B. Nadine had her first OLY this day and fastest bike split ever.
