I am exhuasted. All I want to do is sleep. The only place I want to be is in my bed and the only clothes I want to wear are sweatpants and tshirts. And if I'm not sleeping? I want food. A lot of food. Our grocery bills for two people are ridiculous.Really, it's like there is a teenage boy in the house.
At this point I'm just ready to GO! I'm tired of waiting, tired of training, tired of resting, tired of planning. I'm tired of stressing over packing and remembering everything and buying last minute tubes, GUs, and tolietries.
I just want to get on the plane - with Bella-the-bike in tow - and get down to warm, sunny Cozumel. And become an Ironman.
let's do this.
Oh, and my most recent crazy IM dream? I finished the race in 9h 10m [you didn't know I was that fast, did you?]. I was waiting in line to get my picture taken at the finish, and I realized I didn't remember get a medal. Actually, I realized I didn't remember ANY of the race and that made me sad. I went to get a medal and the guy just had leftover medals from Rhode Island 70.3. He gave it to me and said "is it really a big deal?" and I said "yes! it's a HUGE deal!"
What a bad dream, but you are totally ready. I had a marathon dream once that I forgot to complete the whole race.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a dream, it's a NIGHTMARE (except for the 9:10 finish). Ah, you've officially entered the realm of taper madness. Breathe easy, your moment for glory is fast approaching!
ReplyDeleteGeesh another RI medal! Hope you get some sleep. It is almost time. No worries. You are going to have a great race.
ReplyDeleteI've had that dream--the fast time dream. But then I get disqualified for having left out a loop of the course.
ReplyDeleteDude, you are SO tapering. That all sounds like what I've been going through. The first week was all sleep and food. The 2nd week was tired but less tired, sick and tired of all food and starting to get excited. This week I am eager to just get it on already and BORED with taper!!!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it!!! Race day will be here before you know it.
ReplyDeletedamn right it's a big deal!! you're gonna be an IRONMAN...not a HALF ironman, there's about a 70.3 mile difference!
ReplyDeleteTaper Madness! by Trishie and The Bella's. you should write the song. it will be a hit!
ReplyDeleteNo left over medals!! :) Hang in there tapering is tough huh?
ReplyDeleteA left over medal?!? Nope, that just won't cut it!
ReplyDelete;)
Hell with the nap... get into the spirit of things... HAVE A MARGARITA!!
ReplyDeleteThat dream completely cracked me up! If I don't get another chance before your race, I send you my very, very best. Best wishes and have fun!
ReplyDeleteLOL, hilarious dream! I remember eating and sleeping like that. It's crazy how different you become in training. Soon you'll be done and you will wonder where all the time went!
ReplyDeleteOk, that is a crazy dream! Left over medals is wack for crack. Be patient, it is almost here! You can pick up a real IM medal in 10 days!!!
