Stressed but calm...

18 days left. My taper began Monday. What a great weekend of workouts. I couldnt have asked for better quality. After really not feeling it earlier in the week, I couldnt believe I was able to come back and really finish strong. Check out my training log for specifics! Cycles well over 160miles in three days.

Spring break was awesome last week, but went by SO unbelievably fast. Most like because I spent 21hrs of it working out. School started back today and its a little stressful. Having to worry about assignments and exams while tapering for an Ironman thats less than 20 days away is.. well.. to say the least.. no fun. I also found out im probably going to miss an exam the thur before IMAZ. Not good either, but I spent 6months training to qualify and nothing is going to stop that. Ill do my best to explain to the professor what im going to do and hope that he understands.

Im going down to Galveston this weekend to "race" the olympic/quarter iron triathlon. Im definitly looking forward to finally getting to hop in the wetsuit again and get in the open water, plus get to ride on the disk again. Everything is going to be nice and easy at IM race pace. On the swim in just going to go off percieved exert, then hold ~21mph on the bike and <8:00/m on the run. Lets hope for strong winds.

Happy birthday to my mom ! I cant believe you're _ _ years old!! haha.

Hope everyone is having a good week. Looks like the weather is going to change for the best! 80s+ here we come!!
