Here we go...

Well - I've been pretty lax about posting on here - but I'm sitting here waiting for a friend to pick me up.  We are heading to Mont Tremblant today as the Half Ironman is Sunday.  Still a little shocked at how fast this came up.  But I think I'm ready.  The ride to conquer cancer was a big confidence boost and then Wednesday I went out for what was supposed to be a 50k easy ride.  Well - that ended up being a 65k hammerfest.  But I rode pretty well and felt pretty good the whole time.  The only mistake I made was not having enough nutrition.  I should have thrown some infinit into a couple bottles - all I had was water, which funny enough I refilled when we stopped at the bakery in Erin - and left the bottle behind.  So that sucked.  But I still rode pretty well - just have to take it as lesson learned ALWAYS have nutrition as a back up for when things don't go as planned.  

As usual - I'm all packed for Tremblant - but probably overdid it.  I always take too much stuff.  I probably shouldn't worry though - I mean it's only Quebec and while things are stupidly overpriced at Tremblant resort there are places not too far away where I could get pretty much anything I need. And with the expo and tri related stuff wouldn't be a problem to pick up either!  

I'm excited about the race, looking forward to seeing how things go.  I think my biggest goal is to run more then I did last year.  I really struggled during the run last year so if I can get it done faster I'll be really happy.  I really love this race, I mean the organization is unreal.  And it's only the third year for it.  The crazy thing is it's gone from a new race to one of the best run - most popular races in the Ironman brand circuit.  Part of me is still shocked that in 7 weeks I'll be doing my first full Ironman at one of the best races out there!  Pretty cool that not only is it Canadian - but only a 7 or 8 hour drive away.  

Looking forward to getting up to Tremblant and getting settled in, checked in and ready to race! EEK!!!!
