It's a good one   Especially the song!

Good luck to everyone!  A favorite quote from a friend of mine:

"When your legs get tired, run with your heart"

See you all in Louisville

Last brick workout is in the books. Bike is erady to go, bags are packed and we are pulling out of Somerset, PA at 7:00am

Safe travels to everyone.

See you all in Louisville.

Oh, bummer!  Search "Ironman Triathlon Motivation" and it is by mfolland.

Last little workout done in the dark, just a few little things left to pack up.

Heading out of Kansas at 5:30 a.m. in the morning.

Probably won't be on this thread too much after tonight so safe travels to everyone and tailwinds on Sunday. See you on the other side

Leaving from GA at 6pm.  Gonna be a great weekend.

MarathonGirl11- That link worked for me... and it was great! Thanks for sharing!

I'm leaving this evening, staying at my Grandmother-in-law's house tonight (about 3 hours away from Louisville) then finishing up the trip early Friday morning. I'm kinda glad my family won't be coming to town until Sat because I don't have to make them get up early or drag them around to the athlete checkin and all that. I hear Hillary Biscay will be at the galt house Friday from 10-11 signing autographs! I'm going to try to get one, if I'm not still doing the athlete check in stuff that is.

See you all at Starbucks!

This is funny. I'm starting to feel like the kid at camp whose parents are showing up last to take me home. 

Everybody's leaving!!!

It's all good though...right behind you!

For those of you other 'kids left at camp' I hope to post another video today or tomorrow. It MIGHT be interesting, but really...no promises.

Ha, I might see you on the road.  I drop my youngest off at 8 then its 71 South baby!!!!

Gentleman...I check in later. The Friday departure crew lingers.

Brian! You ARE AWESOME!!! Thank you very much for volunteering!

I have been feeling pretty crappy past several days (sinus infection and the taper slump), and yesterday's 4 mile run was downright discouraging. However, woke up this morning to clear(er) sinuses, and at 5:30 this morning I did my last swim (basically about 800yds of warm up, 400 good effort, then 400 warm down) and felt awesome! Did my fastest 400 of the year by 2 seconds at 4:24, and it felt comfortable! Then I checked Accuweather and it currently predicts a high of 80 on race day! Things are coming together nicely... now if my right leg would just loosen up and heal (feels like a strained calf AND hamstring on that stupid leg) I would be 100%.

Time to pack up and will get out the door at 3:30 to pick up the wife and head to Louisville! I might swing by the Starbucks meet-n-greet, but having family tagalongs makes things tricky. GOOD LUCK EVERYONE!!!

Holy cow!!!  Weather dot com is now saying a high of 79 on Sunday.  I keep asking myself if that is even possible in Louisville in August.  Leaving later today for Louisville.  See y'all at Starbucks tomorrow afternoon!!
