So at the moment for me it has to be "should have done more trainig"!! currently I' consoling myself with the fact that I'm fitter and stronger than I've ever been and that the past 8 months training will carry me through!
My biggest worry is the run. Since march Ive been battling with ankle and knee injuries, eveytime one thing mends another breaks. This means that almost all of my run training has been gym based. I'm just going to have to limp around as best I can.
ood luck!
you have done the training, on the day you'll be just fine. relax and enjoy it!
Can I swim 3.8km?
Can I cycle for 180kms?
Can I run/jog/walk for 42Kms?
Answer, yes - time not important nor is recovery in T1 & T2, if needed have a sit down, drink a little , have treat to eat. Take as much time as you need.
You are showing your mettle by entering, by finishing regardless of time you are an Ironman and you will finish.
Good luck
My time wasn't pretty, but I finished comfortably, all down to the training I'd put in during the previous 5 months, and the fact that I paced myself based on the amount of training I had done, not the time that I was originally aiming for.
Enjoy!
I'm also really excited and can't wait just got to survive the next really busy two weeks in work and we're there.
Thanks again everyone I really appreciate all your help, support and advice over the past few months.
Have a nutrition plan and work with it, if you find its not going to plan, RELAX....get some fluid/solids inside and work through it. At this stage theres nothing youre gonna do in the way of improving your fitness so what will be will be.
Im sure in two weeks time we will have an epic race report to read, good luck my friend..........
I'm pretty much the same as you, alternating between panic and excitement. Can't wait to get going though.
Just remember all we have to do is make it to he next aid station and before you know it we'll be there.
(And if we're lucky we'll get some nice British summer rain)
Knee still dickie but had my final long cycle and long swim this weekend. Both went well so I'm riding on the wave of excitement at the moment!
Good luck!
