  1. I was going to say make a list and check it off as it is packed into RV. I would bring extra gels and shit because things will get lost.
  2. Did an hour spin at an easy pace and had a calming feeling that this shit is over for a little bit. Looking forward to tracking Pearlandhorn Sunday.
  3. Pretzels and chips and water. They finally had one aid station with caffeinated gels and I was good. The salt had done most of the work at that point. The longer you walk the harder it is to start back running so I kept giving myself landmarks to get to.
  4. I was in a dark place mile 13-20 and had a lady grab me before I walked into traffic as I was bonking. I even slowed my pace down on the first 13 and still ran a 1:51 ish. There are 4 big hills that aren’t a joke. It rained all fucking day and it was cold and windy. It really poured in the middle of run and I started shivering. My one piece of advice is bring your own running gels. It’s never really affected me on the 70.3 but the Maurten’s they were passing out were non caffeinated and that fucked me up. I thought about you in the middle of my 6 mile walk. I was like yeah he knows I’m feeling it.
  5. So age groupers start at 8:42 and we go in numerical order with 2 riders leaving every 5 seconds. They will be taking a rack of people at a time. I won’t be waiting too long.
  6. You are ready. I’m excited for you as well.
  7. With an above average cocksucker for a coach.
  8. Thanks man and I appreciate it. Still disappointed but it will be fun tomorrow. My ride home already has the car beers chillin in the car cooler. Sub 6 on bike and sub 4 run. I could probably average 20.5 on bike but saving legs and hanging around 19
  9. That’s pretty much it. Get your mind right and get a good brick in tomorrow.
  10. Thinking about it. I need to clear my head. My buddy who did Kona said 6 weeks might not be enough rest in between and I haven’t swam in ocean
  11. They did that at Oceanside because they never should have attempted the swim. Ironman is a business and you know it’s a risk when you sign up. My buddy at the airport said he saw a good crowd trying to get flights out. I am too cheap to walk away from shit like that b
  12. I need to get over it. They didn't have a choice as the tributaries that feed into the Tennessee were already stressed and some of the rain stayed longer the past few days. It rained 4 inches last night at my house and will rain for awhile today. I am sure I will be disappointed until race morning. Panama City has a full first of November but I really don't know if I want to spend another $,1000 on entry fees. I really wish Ironman would offer us a small discount but they won't. I am going to see how I feel after Sunday and make a decision.
  13. The swim is canceled. I don’t even want to do this shit now.
  14. I’m sure you will get a little emotional as you have put in the work also. My first words after my first 70.3 was that there was nothing half about a half Ironman.
  15. I appreciate it. I am ready for that cold beer to hit my lips Sunday. I am curious if I will be emotional.
  16. Feeling good and I won't be able to ask for better weather. It is raining a ton here and they are spilling a ton of water over the dam right now to make room for all of the rain. I still don't expect the swim to be as fast as last year where they were dumping out 40,000 a second. It will probably be closer to 20,000 which will still be decent. The 70.3 was 13,000 so I can still have a sub hour swim. I go to check in at 1 and then I will swim a little at the Y.
  17. He didn’t have Parkinson’s when he was lying. Lock his ass up.
  18. This time next week I will be in my lane, moisturized and thriving. I’m kind of getting emotional about it.
  19. Buddy, you should see my sister.
  20. coach was really matured the last 4 years. There was a time he would have tried to score 70 but what you said is exactly how it went. We played boring ass football and it probably gave Jeremy Pruitt a hard on.
  21. Big win for Josh. Took a freshman on the road with a boring ass strategy and won a defensive battle. I love my coach.
  22. Full. My last half was in my with a 5:29 finish. I could finish a half sub 5 right now.
