Timberman HO!

Sorry for the lack of posting...I've BEEN posting. In my head. You just can't see it. And I have so much to write that NONE of it has made it here yet...

Well, as you can see in my sidebar, the countdown clock is almost to zero and the time has come to toe the line for my very first half ironman. I'm as ready as I'm gonna be so at this point it's about stretching, sleeping and not doing anything stupid with the diet. I felt a little panicked earlier in the week but I think now I've just decided that I'm LUCKY to be able to participate, to have gotten to the starting line, and that I'm just going to enjoy the day. So that's the plan. To get to the finish with a smile...

The different thing about this race for me is the amount of support I will have from fans. Team IronTom will be out in force, both racing with me and cheering alongside and I'm super excited to be part of such a strong, supportive and wonderful group. If you're headed to Ellacoya, look for lots of red team kits!!! I'm #1287.

Catch you all on the flip side...

Be safe...
