Funny enough. My wife and I had a big talk today. I don’t want to but I think this year is it. I will get your hotel room next year and support you if you come do it.
You could do a full and it would guarantee me doing it. I have a big discount code thanks to a friend. You just need to ride 100 miles twice but other than that ride 60-80 and run 7 and 8 a lot.
I am doing a 70.3 distance in August in Fall Creek Falls Tn and then likely getting a free entry for the 140.6 in September. I ran 3 yesterday and 6 today.
Couldn’t get psi to show when pumping up front tire. I went to the Quintanaroo tent and they helped me. Some sealant got into the presta valve. It holds air fine and now I have it at the psi I need I am not messing with it tomorrow and I will figure it out after the race.
Forgot to mention my other buddy who is doing the race is hosting a pro this week by the name of Sam Appleton who is racing this weekend and I got to meet him. He has a good shot at winning tomorrow. Very nice and humble guy.
I ran 2 this morning. I am exhausted and had a small issue with my bike this morning. Tomorrow is now but nothing more than a training ride I did last summer multiple times yet I am nervous. I hope I wake up feeling better and enthusiastic.
For anyone that is going to do a triathlon heed this advice.
you don’t need to wear your fucking racing kit to bike check in. You look like a damn idiot.
Good question. We kind of self seeded and I am closer to the front I think. I would guess around 8:00 eastern time I will finally take off. I’m probably not even arriving tomorrow until 7 since there isn’t anything to do but stand around. I can’t decide if I am going all out or just taking it easy and having fun.
My buddy who got me into triathlons ( Kona finisher ) is beside me so I might go a little slower so he can stay with me. He is 64 but still pretty fast for his age. He is friends with the guy who brought Ironman to Chattanooga so yesterday we got to meet Michellie Jones who is an Australian silver medalist and Kona World Champion ( 06 I think ).
