The journey to Ironman Lake Placid is quickly coming to an end. Many people keep asking me if I’m ready, ready for it to be over. I think that I’m ready. As for ready for it to be over, nope, not ready for it to be over. I’m ready for it to start. I’m very…

5 Days and the taper continues
Did a 2 hour ride on saturday and a 1 hour run on sunday. We were back in NY visiting family again this weekend so that means I was back up to the Ashokan Reservoir to ride again. It’s really nice riding along 28A up there, not many cars and the views of the mountains…
9 Days to go
Easy ride today from the pond with Jan, Julie, Mike and Karen. We left Stiles pretty much in the dark. I think I will need to get a light for my bike if we are going to keep these thursday morning rides going. The roads were wet but it had stopped raining and the sun…
10 Days to go
Single crossing this morning at the pond and a pretty easy pace. Then a short and quick 5 mile run. The run wasn’t that much fun, horse flies are out and I didn’t have my hat! Funny thing, seemed like they were worse on the way out than they were on the way back, maybe…
Lots of lasts before Ironman
Today was the last of the Tuesday Time trial rides. From here on out the rides will be easy. Well, maybe not easy, but they will be at a more reasonable pace. I’m sure I will push harder once and a while during the last few rides but it won’t be for very long. Now…
Easy swim
Water temp was 79 this morning. The sunrise was pretty nice as usual and it seemed like a good morning for a slow single. Now if only Smolak Farm would open before 7am like the used to! Putting the race wheels on tonight to get some more time in the saddle and get more of…
Last 4 hour ride!
Today was the last of the really long rides. If you consider 4 hours a really long ride. I actually haven’t minded the 4 hour rides. It was when it started to get into the 5 and 6 hour time zone that it felt like work. Today was a great day to be out there,…
IMLP #1675
It’s getting closer and closer. Today I was e-mailed the Athlete guide and found my race number in the participant list. Only 16 days away! I’m looking forward to finally doing this race and getting it done! Hope I remember to enjoy it on the day of the race. Forgot the entry from yesterday. I…
Slow TT this morning
Went out for the usual tuesday morning time trial and didn’t have much today. Legs are still feeling a little beat up from the long ride and run from the weekend. I only managed to get to 19.2 on the way out to the turn around. I was able to pick it up some on the…
Longest Run Ever
I had never run more than 13.1 miles until today. Training program called for a 3 hour run. I didn’t make it 3 hours and really didn’t have any intention of running that long. I don’t have a fuel belt so I had to run out and back on 1 Gel. I ran out 1…
