Catching Up... T Minus 32 days to IMCdA

[colby]

This week, I chose a new theme song for IM. She'll be Comin' Round the Mountain. -- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She'll_...d_the_Mountain

Six white horses is a great visual for the bike. And I certainly will be saying hallelujah when I get there, and there will be lots of people out to greet me. Not so sure about the chicken and dumplings.

15 days, 12 hours.

This weekend, shorter ride, shorter run. Supposed to be a 40-50% chance of rain Saturday (my bike day) and a 10-20% chance of rain Sunday (my run day). I'll probably swap them and try to swim Saturday or Sunday afternoon depending (dragging husband out on kayak in rain not likely to be enjoyable and I can't swim alone).

I am almost disturbed by the amount I look forward to conquering the course and putting my own doubts permanently behind me. I dream of conquering the hills -- twice. I dream of running 26.2 scenic miles. What happened to me?

My biggest concern at this point is the cold swim, so I'm going to work on conquering that. Next week's weather is supposed to be similar to this week, damp and dreary, upper 50s to mid 60s. It's supposed to clear up by the end of next week to 70s, but that will only leave one week for the water temp to increase significantly. I would also hate a wet 112 mile bike ride, but that's really less of a concern (been there, done the wet hilly ride). You can always pack an extra pair of socks and take it easy on the turns.

Bib numbers on Monday....

Wooooooooo Hooooooo!! It's getting so close. I wish I was doing it with you!!!

ETA: Chicken soup on the run is actually really yummy. I think I'd stay away from the dumplings tho.
