Ironman Lake Placid In Pink - here I come

I just finished my last hard workout before the ironman.  Not really that hard, but it's hot out there, which makes it harder.  Mark and I did a fun bike ride this morning called the Ice Cream Odyssey.  It was a 42 mile fun bike ride thru the rolling hills of Medina.  And you get to stop at the half way point and eat an ice cream cone!  I pushed it a little bit on the bike and we averaged about 17.5 mph, which was a good pace for me.  When we got home, we went out for a 3.1 mile run and finished it in 25:06 - and it was 91 degrees and sunny out there.  Mark says that I'm ready and he thinks I'm in better shape than I was for the previous 2 ironmen.  We'll see ... but I do feel good and I think I'm ready.  Tomorrow is a rest day, which I will probably spend packing for the trip.  We leave on Tuesday night, and will make it to Buffalo and then make the rest of the trip on Wednesday.  Then we'll spend a few days getting ready for the race, picking up race numbers, getting the bike ready, etc.  I certainly hope the weather there isn't as hot as it's been here.  But if it is - well - it is what it is.  I'll deal with it one day at a time.  But I think I'm ready.  The journey is almost at an end and I feel great!  Life is good ...
