“To tell the truth, it was not the exultant finish or peak experience I expected. It felt more akin to being beaten and left for dead, but somehow having survived, and not knowing if it was for better or for worse.” Dakin Ferris
This quote made me laugh. What am I doing!?!?!? I think we all have to be a bit nuts to take on something like this. I love it though. 30 days away!!!! I cannot believe how close it is getting. I did my first 100 bike ride on Saturday. It felt amazing! I love riding up the California coast on PCH. The 16 mile run on Sunday was a different story though. I was in too much pain to enjoy running along the beautiful Santa Monica beaches but I know I will be ready in a month. I have trained hard this year and I know I am ready for Florida but I cannot help but fear what that day will bring. I get a rush of emotions just thinking about it. I have spent a year preparing for one day. I am anxious, excited, scared and sad. Oddly enough, I am sad that this training will be over. This has been an amazing journey with amazing friends that I will remember for the rest of my life. Even if I do decide to do another ironman, nothing will ever be like the first.
