In just over a week we will be heading to Boise, ID for my first 70.3 of the season. Actually, it will be my only 70.3 of the season! I feel like everything is clicking right now. My swim is coming around nicely, 15.5k in the pool last week!! I'm hoping all my winter miles translate into a PR on the bike, and my run has felt stronger in the past two weeks than it ever has. I can honestly say that if I ride within myself next weekend, I feel that I can challenge my 1/2 marathon time from Eugene in regards to my run split at Boise. We'll see. In all honesty, I just want to race to my potential. The big dance is still 3 months away, but next weekend will give me some insight into how fit I am and where I need to spend more time in my big training block leading up to Canada.
I never feel like I have enough time in the day, and the past few weeks at work have helped to prove this point. I'm happy for a little rest from training the next week as I enter into a modified taper...I need the extra hours to get ahead at work!! All else seems to be good. I was a little concerned about a cold I picked up last week, but I kicked that to the curb. All I can do now is get some proper rest and hope for the best next week. For some reason the bib numbers are not up yet, but I'll post my number when I receive it. If you are interested in following, the race is on June 12th and has a unique start time...2pm. You can track results on Ironman.com.
Well, that's it for now. As always, thanks for reading!

Best of luck at Boise Bro! I will be following you via the live feed. The feature is so cool! BTW, I met a guy on Monday who told me participants at Boise will have a chance to sign up for IMCDA 2011. Get on it! :-)
