Subject: IMKY taper thought de jour The real 'challange of an ironman' is the training. The race is actually the reward...payday. We're gonna have fun in Louisville...because we've earned it. We paid our dues. We've spent countless hours on the bike. We've swum endless laps in the pool staring at hairballs and a black line. We're run more miles than Forrest Gump. We've had to pass on 'beers after work' and 'lunch at Pizza the Hut' so we could get our mileage in. We've spend so much time at our local bike shop everyone there knows us by name. We went to bed shortly after the sun went down and gotten back up before the sun rose again. We've done all we can do (and remain semi-sane). Now it is time to reap the rewards of our hard work. Louisville is gonna be fun. We are going there to do an ironman! How cool is that!?! CYA soon! ~Mike |
