13 days and the email that started it all.

totals from last week > November 9 - November 15

in the water: 5000.00 M in 1h 44m 13s
on bella: 82.50 Mi in 5h 39m 50s
in my asics: 24.38 Mi in 3h 46m 29s
total training time: 11h 10m 32s

this week the training volume drops drastically. I felt like there was still too much volume in my training plan, and so I cut out some of the workouts. The workouts for this week are listed until "on tap" <------- . At this point all of the work is done and I feel like doing less will benefit me more on race day.

also, when will taper madness kick in? right now I am exhuasted... I've been sleeping and napping non stop this weekend ! I feel like one of my cats [minus the whole pooping in a box thing]. All I want to do is lay down and sleep. Should make for a productive week at work! AND I'm in court Tuesday and Wednesday... hope I can stay awake through my dockets.

finalizing the last minute to-dos and getting ready. Getting REALLY ready... nervous but so excited.

and here is the email that started it all:


there is debate as to whether or not the "two words for you: ironman cozumel" means "isn't this interesting" (my friend's interpretation) or "go ahead and sign up!" (my interpretation). look at the date. wow.

  1. I spent that whole 1st week of taper sleepy. You're about on target :) I've felt more energetic and bored this past week. I hope to feel super zippy and bouncy next week.
