Four months out

We are now four months out from IM Switzerland. I feel like I've been building a good base and have had good days and bad days, overall I've been enjoying it. Coach M, set off my panic button talking about doing long rides. I've since simmered down and am looking forward to the challenge and appreciate the tough love, although I buck at it at first. It is pretty amazing to think that I can train myself (hopefully) to go for so long and so far. The main thing that usually makes me nervous is whether or not I will have the mental strength during the race and I think that is part of what training long helps accomplish. Training long lets me know mentally while at the same time training me physically, that yes you can do this just relax.

Last night was a swim at Stacy followed by a run at Lady Bird Lake where I passed SXSW goer after SXSW goer. The highlight was running passed some aging rockers, "Rock on Sister" they called at me. "Exactly" I thought.
