Monday, we ran 8 miles on Wonderwood with some hills. It actually wasn't too hard at all, which was suprising. That's the first time we ran the hills there. Tuesday, we tried to swim, but the pool was closed because the pH was too high. Wednesday, we went to our first Hammerhead Triathlon Club meeting and met a lot of great people with great advice about nutrition and mental toughness. The triathlon community is a unique one for sure and we are glad to be a part of it. We already learned a lot at one meeting and we look forward to more. Thursday morning, we rode 17 miles on Wonderwood before work and then picked up Dustin's brother, Travis, his wife, Robin, and their 11 month old, Kiona from the airport. We realistically won't get much training done this weekend, but we will try a little bit.
It is Ironman eve and everything is going great! We are sitting here in our hotel room of Fairfield Inn and they have wireless internet in the rooms so I'm typing on my laptop. Dustin's shaving, Dave is drinking a beer, Jeff and Jen are being assigned duties, Paula, Kendra's sister is getting last minute tips for cheering from Kendra. Now Jeff, Jen, and Dave's pizza just got here. Kendra, Dustin and I already ate our microwaved pasta about 6 PM, while we hung out by the indoor pool with some of the kids from our group. By group, I mean the best freakin cheer squad ever!!!! We had our lunch at Panera bread earlier at 12 and met up with most of Dustin's family and my parents old friends' Greg and Mary who they hadn't seen in 10 years and their daughter, Nikki who lives here in Madison who we grew up together! She is going to be a part of our cheering squad tomorrow along with Bill, Gwen, Jeff, Dave, Jen, Walt, Judy, Becky, Ken, Don, Carolyn, Shelley, Braxton, ...
