And like that, she's gone
I just got back from taking the bike to the store for a final tune up before they load it up on the truck to take to IM Florida. It's really getting close now. All my gear is packed and ready to go. I'm feeling good. This second week of tapering has my body feeling rough, but I'm told that's exactly how it should be. By next week I will be fully recovered and ready to rip out on that course.
I had a great final long brick today. It was supposed to take place last night, but because of rain I postponed it until this morning. Of course, it was still raining this morning. Nevertheless, I awoke at 4:45am got on the bike for 1:25 then ran outside for a half hour. I felt so fresh that I didn't even think about the fact that I had just done a two hour brick in the middle of the night. I mean it felt that I had just gone for a walk around the neighborhood.
So, I overhauled my bike. I changed the cables, the chain and cleaned in every nook and cranny. It is ready to go. I am still working on getting used to my inflation tool and I need a new set of aero bar pads. Check out Beast's pics as she is all ready to go to Florida. [IMG]http://i20.tinypic.com/6p3ms8.jpg[
By the way, my race number is 359 so make sure to track me on the big day!
