Well, it's the day before IMC. It has been a year since Meg and I were up here. I left Penticton last year incredibly excited to come back and race this year. Seems like the time has flown by. My Dad and I got up here Thursday. The house I'm renting is great. 10 minutes out of town over looking the lake. I didn't want to stay in town. I wanted to be away from the craziness and all the testosterone that surrounds Ironman week.
The rest of my family is heading up today. We will have a big dinner and then I'll be off to bed early. I've spent the last few days going over my race and nutritional plan. I have both perfectly planned, now it's just a matter of execution. I can't wait to get to Richter. Actually I'm really looking forward to the rollers and the out and back after. Apparently that is where everyone gets discouraged. I will be strong here.
I'm actually looking forward to the marathon the most. I'm hoping my airway is mostly clear and if it is, it would be my first chance to finish a long course tri in over two years without a huge lung handicap :) So, yes...I'm looking forward to the marathon!! I want to thank everyone that has supported me this past year. I know it hasn't been easy with a job change, moving cities, and throwing a wedding next week. My *ARMY* rocks and I can't wait to see you on the course tomorrow :) And of course, thank you to all that are somewhere outside of Penticton sending me positive vibes.
OK, time to get to work!!

Can't wait to hear how you did!
