IM Date: 8/25/09 - Week 16 - 19 Days and Counting

I planned to do a countdown from 20 days out, but was at a training seminar for work all day yesterday and didn't get a chance to post. Wow, less than 3 weeks to go...just 19 days. Lots of things happening as of late. We got our "Athlete's Guide" for the race and the schedule leading up to the race will be crazy-hectic to say the least.

There are some mandatory things that I hadn't accounted for and it looks like I will be driving to and from Madison twice before the race. It should be fine, my sleep shouldn't suffer much so sitting in my truck versus sitting my office chair isn't much different. As long as I'm there and ready on Sunday, I don't care how I get there. Like I said in one of my first posts, if I have to drag my limp body across that finish line I will do it.

As far as training goes, it's a full week with our last long day coming this Sunday with a 4 hour ride and a short, 20 minute run. Lots of swimming this week too. Then next week we really start to taper down...which will be tough to do after all this time training so hard.

I'm going to try and post even more frequently in this last 19 days...so stay tuned!
