Am I ready? Yeah I think so. Legs are starting to feel better. It's always hard getting that taper thing down. Especially when you have never done what you are about to do. I think we got it pretty close, but we shall see. I think most of all it is the fear of the unknown. Neither of us has done this, so only in our imaginations can we try and picture what it will be like. Will my bike be fast enough? How will my legs feel when I get off to run? What should I take for nutrition? All things that only can be answered after the fact. But like I said, we have to believe in the work we have put in thus far. I know we have worked hard and I don't know if there is much more we could have done.
This whole process has taken its toll both physically and mentally. All the early morning runs in the dark, the Saturdays spent melting on the bike in 100 degree temps. All leading up to Sunday!
We are excited for this adventure and are going at it with open minds and determined hearts. Whatever the result, we know we will put everything we have out there in the course. Hopefully somewhere in the mix of swimming, biking and running we can take a little time to soak it all in and realize what a cool thing it is we are doing.
If you would like to track us, you can do so either by going to ironman.com and clicking on the Louisville link and searching our name or bid numbers. 201 for Meg and 1223 for myself. My dad will also be giving updates on my Facebook page. Thanks for all your continued support and I can't wait to tell you all about it!
