One week away from my big event
It's one week away from my biggest triathlon event; I am doing a half-ironman race next Sunday. Half-Ironman distance is: 1.2 mile swim (2,111 yrs or 84.5 lengths in 25 yrd pool) , 56 mile bike, then 13.1 mile run. It's probably going to take me 6:15 to 6:40 hours to complete. I know it sounds nuts, but I have been training for a while and I am just trying to finish so it shouldn't be too bad. In addition, it's a sold-out event so I am not the only crazy one around. Still, I am a bit scared but also excited about it.
The event is in Tempe, AZ (Phoenix Metro). If you want to check out more info about the event, go to: http://www.redrockco.com/HalfIronmanAZ.htm. I actually did the quarter-ironman (half of the half-iron) last year so I know the course because the half-iron is just double loop on everything, except for the swim.
Wish me luck :)
