oh, Placid is coming…

i wanted to bag it.  i tried.  i tried to come up with every excuse and reason i could think of to save race day for Louisville.  i thought it’d be better to just be there as support crew.  my fitness isn’t perfect, but i have been doing some good work and the body is coming around.  so i am going to race and i am going to my best and we’ll take the day as it comes.  it all seems like such a mess going in and then somehow like magic it all comes together at the end.  

i’ve been awful about writing and i knew this first blog would be scattered and messy…much like my ironman prep.  i’ve had some real good training days, but i’ve blown off more days than i should have.  

i feel more settled in life than i have in years past, and i think that opens new doors for performance.  i am hopeful writing performance will also improve  

sidenote:  tour de france has been great and if you don’t twitter, you should.  lance provides his outlook on the day in the tour.  i find it entertaining (keep in mind.  i also find the metto entertaining.  take it for what it is worth.)
